Corporate treasury in a new world order

Following years of trying to keep pace with the relentless growth on the business side, CFOs and treasurers in Asia are seeing a new more deliberate phase of growth. While the slowdown can be a source of worry, it has also opened up a number of possibilities: the opportunity to examine the inner workings of the organization, sharpen focus on efficiency, and a greater incentive to look for new markets.

If 2016 was the year of the unthinkable (Brexit, Trump, et al), 2017 could turn out to become the year of change and a new world order. Caught between the two T’s of Trump and technology, the treasury function will need to be both agile and adaptable. The business ramifications of both will have a lasting impact on how companies in this region operate and how they are able to navigate the terrain in the years ahead.

Indeed, the function of treasury is entering a new world order. How will these changes shape the coming 12 months and beyond? What are the opportunities and challenges that are considerations for the CFOs and treasurers in the evolving landscape? What tools are available that will help to drive efficiency, improve controls, and increase the visibility?

The Asset Events proudly presents its 3rd Asia Treasury and Trade Summit, a strategic one-day event which will bring together the region’s most innovative and influential CFOs and treasurers to highlight the key trends and innovative solutions that are reshaping corporate treasury in the region.

Asset Events Speaker
In conversation: Renminbi internationalization: One step forward, two steps back?
The renminbi has opened up new business opportunities given its growing importance as an international trade and reserve currency.

What does increased volatility around renminbi mean if it were to make its way into the global currency community?
  • Where is renminbi heading and what it means for the offshore market?
  • How are treasurers navigating the current difficulties in linking their renminbi with their regional pool?
  • What are the opportunities available in the payments and cash management area?
  • What’s the state of renminbi liquidity today?
