HSBC's Guide to Cash, Supply Chain and
Treasury Management in Asia Pacific

12 years of thought leadership, in practice

Readers of previous editions will note that the guide has a new title to reflect the increasing inter-dependence between treasury and supply chain management objectives and associated initiatives. We welcome the growing interest in the guide from readers with trade finance and supply chain management responsibilities.

At the time of publishing, the global financial services industry is facing a particularly challenging operating environment which is likely to remain with us for some time. Economic conditions are prompting companies to seek strategies to address current commercial uncertainties and heightened business risks. Such strategies include the re-engineering of business and financial management processes to better meet the prevailing and future commercial challenges as well as new opportunities arising.

With contributions from recognised industry experts, this year's guide focuses on how to improve your company's cash management, supply chain and treasury processes, with dedicated sections on China and India, the global economic engines of the region. There is also a section on Japan, a market that is experiencing renewed interest in cash and treasury management.

In anticipation of demands from our readers, we have introduced a special “Market Watch” feature in the Market Analysis section, which takes a holistic view of the market and considers some of the expected regulatory and market changes that are likely to impact the Asia-Pacific countries and territories covered in this guide.
