Architects of Change:
Treasury Leadership in an Era of Transformation

The role of treasury continues to evolve into a more strategic, innovative and data-driven partner that is critical to enterprise value creation.

Our 2025 Global Treasury Survey, with insights from 350 treasurers from around the world, reveals how treasurers are adapting to an increasingly complex environment shaped by economic volatility, uncertainty in interest rates and inflation, regulatory shifts and a resurgence in global trade tensions. Amid these challenges, leading treasury organisations are building more connected operating models — positioned not just to safeguard assets but also to deliver actionable insights and sustainable financial outcomes.

Treasury teams are responding to heightened demands for cash visibility, cost efficiency and risk management by deepening their integration with business units and enabling faster, more informed decisions. Top-performing organisations are adopting in-house banks, real-time liquidity tools, AI-enhanced forecasting and centralised payment models to drive working capital efficiency and unlock trapped cash. As a result, treasury is increasingly recognised as a key enabler of resilience and agility.
