Leader - A World of Difference
by Chris Furness, Global Head, Cash Management and Alex Barrett, Head of Client Research, Standard Chartered Bank
Categories:

The epicenter of this turmoil is the US and in particular the US consumer but the ripples have spread out around the world. However, the effects are not uniform: there are great differences in the fortunes of companies, markets and economies and this has profound implications for both cash management and overall working capital management.
