Finance & Treasury Leaders Luncheon in Sydney

​Forecasting on Borrowed Time: Navigating Treasury Priorities as Interest Rates Climb

​After a period of expecting interest rates to fall, many organisations are now facing a different reality. Rising rates, persistent inflation, and higher funding costs have changed how finance and treasury teams approach cash management, investment decisions, and risk.

​For many businesses, forecasting still depends on spreadsheets, bank portals, and disconnected data, making it harder to gain a clear view of cash flow and respond quickly to change. With uncertainty continuing, finance leaders are looking for more confidence in their liquidity, funding, and risk management strategies.

​This discussion will explore how treasury teams are adapting to a higher interest rate environment, focusing on practical challenges such as improving cash visibility, strengthening forecasting, managing liquidity, and making better-informed financial decisions.

​Key discussion points:

• ​Where do current cash forecasting processes provide confidence, and where are visibility gaps affecting decisions?

• ​How have higher interest rates influenced funding strategies, investments, and business priorities?

• ​How are organisations managing liquidity, working capital, and exposure to interest rate or FX risks in a changing market?
