Abstract
This Financial Insights report highlights significant business drivers shaping
the future for Asia' s cash management (CM) industry. It also explores the
common CM techniques and existing barriers for corporates to efficient CM, and
compares the services being offered by principle banks in the Asia/Pacific
region.
The final section is dedicated to a detailed discussion on the how banks can
convince corporates to outsource more of their treasury services and develop
relationships with banking partners, as well as the collaborative role of
treasury management vendors in the CM space.
There is growing realization that an expanded and sophisticated treasury and
finance function can improve business processes and drive operational
efficiencies and transparency, all of which are crucial for sustained business
success. Consequently, "The importance of cash management continues to expand
steadily as corporates demand efficient international cash management that
expands in tandem with their global development," observes Li-May Chew, CFA,
senior research manager for Financial Insights Asia/Pacific.
