What do treasurers need to know about the commercial paper market?

With rising rates and questions surrounding bank liquidity, it’s important for treasurers to consider their short-term funding strategy. This ACT webinar with Fitch Ratings discussed the latest developments in the commercial paper market and whether this might address the challenge of tightening liquidity.

We explored the following questions:

  • what are the commercial paper issuance trends amid rising rates in the major currencies?
  • why use a commercial paper programme?
  • who are the commercial paper investors and what’s driving investor demand for commercial paper?
  • what does the US bank liquidity turmoil mean for corporate short-term funding
  • what is the Fitch Ratings methodology to assign short-term ratings?
  • how is the ESG commercial paper market developing?
