• A majority (63%) of respondent organisations indicated that their primary hedging strategy objective to manage foreign exchange (FX) risk is to protect the organisation from adverse market conditions.
• A majority (58%) of companies felt that security of the short-term investment was most important consideration. Liquidity was the second most important, followed by yield.
• For the second year running, the majority of corporate treasurers identified liquidity risk as the most important for their companies in the coming 12 months. Second was foreign exchange (FX) risk, and third was counterparty risk.
