Event Description
Cash Management in Volatile Countries 
Location
Setting: Live Virtual
Details
Treasury teams with exposure to volatile countries or emerging markets need to be more dynamic than ever before. They need to be familiar with country specific regulatory, trade, political and market characteristics in addition to the latest geopolitical challenges that drive a rapidly evolving landscape. The value of corporate treasury cannot be underestimated in the Emerging Market context. Local currency interest rates tend to be higher than in developed markets, making domestic liquidity management very important to controlling interest expenses. Emerging Market currencies also have regulatory complexities in terms of trapped liquidity.  Without diligent planning and preparation of solutions, it is extremely challenging to remit surplus funds from these markets to offset borrowing elsewhere. While trade finance has benefits such as shortening the cash conversion cycle and improving working capital, trade with these volatile markets requires risk management to avoid FX illiquidity, and regulatory uncertainty. Please join JPMorgan’s Michael Gouvion and Karl Schamotta from Corpay on May 25th when they discuss “Cash management in Volatile Markets”
