of the economic crisis on liquidity management

Overcoming the challenges
The SEPA Credit Transfer has been a qualified success since its launch a year ago, with some large

mobile components

Technology and Risk Review:
In the present financial crisis, more than ever before, corporate treasurers are seeking fully

Moreover they are attempting to do this at lower prices. The drive for these improved services is
leading to some interesting new partnerships.

The ideal global network bank
The near collapse and subsequent bailout of several big international banks during the past 12
months have fundamentally changed the way treasurers and CFOs view their banking relationships.
Chris Furness, global head of cash management, Standard Chartered Bank, explains the
implications of this for global network banking, and why Standard Chartered is the ideal global
network banking partner for international corporations and institutions

Stability comes to the fore
With the focus on bank creditworthiness, many corporates are reviewing their banking
relationships. A strong and stable partner in cash management is more important than ever and
BNP Paribas meets the challenge

New partnerships show future of financial supply chain management
New business practices to improve the efficiency of the physical supply chain that reduce capital
investment and increase collaboration and the sharing of assets even between major competitors
are beginning to appear in the financial supply chain where banks and other financial service
suppliers are collaborating to deliver wide-ranging improvements in management information and
financial supply chain efficiency.

Right place, right time
With liquidity the priority, corporate treasurers need to know where their cash is and how to access
it quickly. For Barclays, cash management and trade services is at the core of its commercial banking
relationship with clients
