Editorial

A time for reflection

In this latest edition of Treasury Today Asia we are delighted to begin 2023 with our readership assessing the latest trends and topics affecting the region’s treasurers.

Our opening article assesses the key issues of the year for Asian treasury, starting the year with our trademark Insight and Analysis. Elsewhere we assess supply chain resilience and disruption and in our Technology feature we explore talk of the town, AI cutting through the hype to explore the challenges and opportunities this presents in reality.

After the turbulence of the past few years, when it comes to currency volatility, our Risk Management feature takes a look at tales from the frontline as we deep dive into FX risk in 2023. We also tackle regulation and standards in a round up feature on the key updates coming treasury’s way.

We explore corporate best practice in our Adam Smith Awards Asia 2022 event write up and also within our Corporate View feature with Nisedha Gunawardena, Deputy General Manager of Treasury at Aitken Spence, exploring his career journey and lessons learnt.

Finally, our Question Answered feature will explore how prepared countries and companies are for new IFRS rules designed to tackle greenwashing and create a single set of corporate climate reporting standards to meet new investors’ information needs.

All that remains is for us to wish our readership a prosperous and fruitful year of the rabbit which we welcome within the time span of this issue. We look forward to bringing you the latest information and celebrating community with you all throughout the year to come.
