Navigating New Realities & New Possibilities

A Treasury and Finance leaders' handbook to seizing growth in a disrupted global economy

Navigating disruption, empowering growth: Key insights

Treasury and finance leaders are navigating a profoundly disrupted global economy, facing geopolitical uncertainty, a slowing global growth rate, fluctuating interest rates, and the ever-present threat of technological disruption. These "new realities" demand treasury leadership strategies that build financial resilience.

But this challenging environment and global economic outlook also presents significant "new possibilities." Based on research with over 800 Treasury and Finance leaders across 14 markets and 7 sectors, DBS Bank’s new research identifies how these executives are leveraging enhanced network connectivity, the accelerating digital wave (including DLT and Generative AI), supply chain diversification, and decarbonisation initiatives to build resilience and drive growth.

This research reveals the expanding strategic role of Treasury and Finance, focusing on operational and risk management, enhanced capital management, and an increasing strategic remit encompassing ESG compliance and business transformation. The handbook offers practical insights for CFOs and their teams seeking to master this new era and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
