The 2024 Corporate Debt and Treasury Report, produced in partnership with Herbert Smith Freehills, is now available to download.
Key conclusions from the research analysis include:
- corporate treasury continues to become ever more adept at responding to unpredictable macro-economic and political events, taking pre-emptive steps both to debt raising to capitalise on optimal conditions but also supporting their businesses across all treasury activities and markets
- despite a sense of fewer concerns about a lack of access to debt and a perceived lower risk of financial distress, preserving cash as a buffer for the unexpected or to deploy when investment conditions improve is a key focus of the treasury community
- for many, sustainability-linked finance continues to fall considerably down the treasury agenda from its peak in 2021/2022, although those who already have it in place look likely to continue to do so.
We hope you find these results informative and would like to thank those who participated in our research. In particular, we are grateful to those who took part in our follow-up interviews to discuss the survey results.
If you have any feedback or would like to discuss the issues raised, please contact us at technical@treasurers.org.
