Capital markets activity in the U.S. has slowed considerably this year. In 2020 and 2021, total debt and equity issuance for corporates reached $2.6 and $2.2 trillion, respectively. To-date in 2022, issuance is down 56% to $980 billion. As a result, firms have found it more difficult to obtain financing for their operations. In the medium-term, this dynamic in the capital markets may be foreshadowing a broader retreat, which could result in reduced lending.

Given today’s challenging environment, cash management is a critical aspect for firms to manage and grow their operations. All businesses need to:

• Collect receivables quickly
• Make payments efficiently
• Maintain control over money in and money out
• Protect themselves against fraud
• Ensure that their funds are in the right place at the right time (Liquidity Management)

And with a multitude of headwinds including rising interest rates, supply chain challenges, and credit likely tightening, firms need to manage their cash more effectively than ever. That’s why we turned to our Treasury Solutions Team to understand how our offering can be a critical component to provide firms with the tools and expertise they need to navigate these challenging waters.
