Corporate treasurers may traditionally focus on short-term financial and monetary tools, such as cash flow, liquidity, funding, and banking relationships. But they also hold the keys to even more strategic insights that could optimize fiscal returns, mitigate macroeconomic risks early, and contribute to long-term financial performance.
For example, forecasts still need to be extended beyond foreign exchange rates to provide more comprehensive scenario analyses. Considerations include macroeconomic indicators, geopolitical dynamics, and weather conditions that significantly impact business operations.Instead of focusing on emerging trends, such as cryptocurrencies and AI, treasurers prefer more fundamental approaches to achieve primary goals including risk management, control, and enhanced visibility.
