We are organizing our next meetings for the European Treasurers' Peer Group (ETPG) scheduled for March and May. The ETPG consists of two separate groups of treasury managers from the world's leading corporates with around 20 participants for each meeting. We usually discuss specific topics such as cash flow forecasting, KPI, bank relationship management and credit risk management. We proud ourselves of developing the treasury profession with each topic we discuss. What else can you expect with so much competence and experience gathered in one place at the same time?
However these times are special and the circumstances change constantly so it is hard to find a specific topic. In our meeting last November we therefore decided to learn from each other and draw conclusions from how the turmoil will affect the treasury profession. Honestly I think that was one of the best sessions we have ever had.
This time we will dig a bit deeper and have a one-day workshop to develop a new Treasury Policy Framework more adaptable to the present market conditions. A new policy framework would need to be more dynamic and receptive to the volatility of the markets, constant changing conditions, and probably include a substantial focus on a cash cushion strategy, just to mention a few parameters.
If you are interested to apply for a membership in any of the ETPG groups, please contact me.
