In January, we have held the inaugural meeting with board members, to discuss key issues they deemed crucial in 2024 working in treasury.

The board touched upon key factors to watch out in 2024. This included multiple elections coming up in major economies including the US, India and Indonesia, and their impact on currencies; an outlook of possible rate cuts later this year; timing of bond issuance and fundraising; geopolitical confilcts and their impact on supply chains; application of aritificial intelligence and techs alike, among many others.

CT will closely follow how these evolve over the next 12 months, offering valuable insights and updates from the industry.
