Is slow growth the new normal? What impact does currency risk have on the bottom line? What about stockpiling cash? These are just a few questions the Economist Intelligence Unit posed to corporate treasury and finance executives worldwide in the summer of 2015. The responses reveal a mix of both optimism and caution as treasurers, CFOs and other financial professionals continue to grapple with the long, drawn-out aftermath of the 2008 crisis. getAbstract recommends this engaging report to corporate finance executives.

Take-Aways

  • Slow economic growth continues to concern most corporate finance executives around the world, according to a 2015 survey.
  • Foreign exchange and regulatory issues also rank high on their list of worries, along with interest rate, credit, counterparty and liquidity risks.
  • Corporate cash coffers continue to bulge; they boasted $1.73 trillion in cash holdings at the end of 2014.
