FX And Liquidity Risks Management In APAC (NUS RMI-ACTS Workshop)

In this course, we shall present an outline of the daily life in the Corporate Treasurer, what are the typical roles and responsibilities. We will share some typical workflow and operational activities in our daily work. i.e FX exposures, cashflow forecasts and liquidity reports are one of the main reports that Treasurers look at and monitor.

As Treasurers, we will have to manage the financial risks like cashflow, FX, IR, funding and it is our responsibility to ensure that operationally the organisation is protected and funded without hiccups and gaps.

Asia Pacific region is home to many interesting markets whereby the currencies usage is restricted, market liquidity is limited, and cross border fund transfers are not straightforward.

Treasurers need to have a good understanding of the market colors and stakeholders’ behavior, the currency liquidity and the hedging options available. As cash and liquidity managers, we need to know how to optimize our cash, structure our bank accounts and network, and proactively manage any restrictions on capital controls and movement of funds.
