Treasurers are exceptionally resilient in managing liquidity in a constantly changing and uncertain economic environment, leveraging real-time connectivity, seamless API integrations and end-to-end automation to build a truly resilient liquidity environment. From safeguarding cash on deposit and in money-market funds to securing short-term liquidity and working capital against balance-sheet assets, treasurers are the driving force in liquidity operations, capital allocation and cash management for the business.
In dynamic markets with shifting risk horizons, investing cash in securities for optimal yield and liquidity is critical to create agility as markets evolve.
In this insightful webinar we focus on the treasurer’s pivotal role in creating a resilient liquidity environment today to navigate tomorrow’s uncertainties. Our expert panel will share their insights, experiences and techniques in treasury in a must-attend masterclass.
Creating the connected treasury: a blueprint for transformation, sponsored by Agicap
Data connectivity between business units, treasury and banks, through ERP systems is the secret to efficient cash management, forecasting and planning. Seeing and knowing the cash balances of businesses in near real time, allows creating the forecast, managing short term liquidity and activating working capital effectively and efficiently. Connecting the ERP directly to banking portals via APIs, can enable two way communication between liquidity providers and treasury, enabling the execution of payables and receivables, whilst generating data for cash management and forecasting. Yet the process of connecting business and treasury data systems via the ERP is often unique in each company, as differing legacy systems and software, as well as reporting requirements present data integration challenges. In this webinar we explore how finance and treasury teams seek to connect systems and data into a holistic suite of cash management, liquidity planning and forecasting modules via the ERP and discuss the challenges and benefits in creating a connected treasury.
Impacts of strong dollar and hard currency shortages on treasury in Africa
The surge in the US dollar is being felt keenly throughout EMEA, with the greenback rising 5.5% in value in Q3 and strengthening against all currencies. Whilst the euro has some resilience to stem depreciation through monetary interventions, central banks in emerging economies and complex countries across Africa are at the sharp end of weakening local currencies. This currency crunch, coupled with ongoing hard currency shortages due to dollar outflows, dwindling foreign reserves and rising inflation in Africa, are creating a challenging environment for treasurers managing in-country liquidity risks. In this webinar, treasurers in the region discuss their local currency cash management strategies and the measures they are taking to hedge and mitigate ongoing currency risks.
