2021: A year of leadership and community

This is the first edition of Treasury Today Asia of the new year and we approach 2021 with the experience and insight that 2020 has brought to us all. 2021 will be a year of rebuilding and coming together with a focus on leadership and community.

Firstly we want to extend our well wishes for yourselves, our readership, your colleagues and your families. Secondly, we would like to thank you all for your ongoing engagement with Treasury Today Asia and your corporate community. We will continue to do all we can to keep you informed, engaged and connected in 2021.

In this edition we look at the lessons to be learnt by the year that was 2020 and look ahead to our shared future. We celebrated our Adam Smith Awards Asia 2020 winners at the end of last year, with a record-breaking number of submissions. We look forward to sharing the stories of our 2020 winners with you this year in our podcast series and case studies and will also be bringing you insights from previous year winners as we create our alumni groups in 2021. We also want to start 2021 by encouraging everyone to look ahead and think of this year’s award submissions which will open in June. Be part of the best practice community.

The intersection of geopolitics with corporate finance and leadership has grown in recent years and 2021 will be a year that seems sure to be defined by large scale global geopolitical events. Intellectual curiosity has never been more important as we navigate the demands and complexities of our organisations, industries and selves.

Stay safe, take care and let us know if there is anything you would like to read, see or hear in 2021 from Treasury Today Asia.
