How Can Companies Prepare for Economic Volatility?
Senior Industry Leaders Share Their Insights
Governments, economists and central banks around the world are talking about the flux and uncertainty of the global economy, and some are even suggesting that we have entered into a state of emergency. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; subsequent supply chain disruption; and rising inflation and interest rates suggest that we are heading towards a bear market. With growing warnings from banks and economists about the possibility of an impending recession, companies are scrambling to reduce exposure amidst uncertainty and a backdrop of climate change.
There are ways to mitigate the impact of such crises and prepare for further disruption. Leveraging new technologies and being flexible enough to respond to constant market evolutions are key to growth and survival. With margins tight, financial operations must be managed to maximise profit and keep costs down. Financing the business growth and maintaining and nurturing business relationships is also important in preparing for a looming recession.
Hosted by the Financial Times, in partnership with Kyriba, this panel discussion explores the challenges of operating in today’s uncertain economy, how companies are strategising to reduce exposure, and fine-tuning operating models and processes to enable growth.
