Balancing Acts and Strange Bedfellows

What this episode covers

The world of international trade is changing. In the face of ongoing repercussions from COVID slowdowns, rising geopolitical tensions, and the much-trumpeted decline in globalization, many companies are looking to increase the resilience of their business practices. This is leading to strategies such as re-shoring, onshoring, and friend-shoring and nearshoring, resulting in changes—and new challenges—for financial planning and treasury teams. Our conversation today will start with the high level macro trends. Then we’ll dive into practical considerations for financial teams on both sides of the borders, and strategies to consider in building long-term resilience. This will be a lively conversation—that’s a guarantee.
