24 Sep Financing The Fragile Economic Recovery
Since the global financial crisis, global treasury and cash management have entered a period of adjustment. Corporate treasurers are grappling with an increasingly uncertain macro environment and with time-consuming regulatory and compliance burdens. These factors cause major challenges for many companies that are keen to expand in the face of a sluggish economic recovery. At the same time, new technological capabilities and partnerships as well as the corporate treasurer’s increasingly strategic role within the business offer major opportunities.
This content programme by The Economist Intelligence Unit, sponsored by Deutsche Bank, examines how global corporate treasurers are navigating these new risks and opportunities for growth, based on a global survey of 300 corporate treasurers, CFOs and other senior finance executives.
The key findings of the white paper are as follows:
- Finance executives are worried about sluggish growth, currency risk, regulatory
risk and counterparty risk - Companies are hoarding cash
- Finance executives spend considerable time on keeping up with regulatory changes
- The role of technology in corporate treasury departments is becoming increasingly important
- Corporate treasury is seen as having an increasing importance in strategy and the wider business.
