Currencies: From Forecast to Settlement

by Duncan Kerr, Deputy Editor, Euromoney 

One of the greatest challenges any corporate treasurer of an international company will face is managing payment and receivable flows in multiple currencies. In the age of globalisation when companies are expanding rapidly into new markets, this challenge is becoming ever greater and more acute.
