risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating various types of risks, including market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks.
By adopting robust risk management frameworks, firms seek to safeguard against adverse events that may jeopardize their financial viability and competitiveness in the market.
The imperative for strategic treasury and financial risk management is particularly pronounced within volatile economic landscapes characterized by heightened uncertainty, market turbulence, and fluctuations in macroeconomic indicators.
Such environments pose significant challenges to businesses, as they are exposed to increased volatility in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and asset valuations.
Consequently, anticipating, assessing, and effectively managing financial risks becomes paramount for organizations seeking to thrive amidst economic volatility.
Moreover, technological advancements, regulatory changes, geopolitical developments, and global interconnectedness further contribute to the complexity of the financial risk landscape, necessitating agile and adaptive risk management strategies.
Several phenomena underscore the importance of strategic treasury and financial risk management in volatile economic landscapes.
Firstly, the global financial crisis of 2008 demonstrated the catastrophic consequences of inadequate risk management practices, as evidenced by the collapse of financial institutions and the ensuing economic downturn.
This seminal event underscored the need for enhanced risk oversight, regulatory reforms, and proactive risk mitigation measures.
Secondly, disruptive technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics have revolutionized the financial services industry, presenting both opportunities and challenges for risk management practitioners.
Thirdly, geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and geopolitical instabilities have introduced additional layers of risk and uncertainty into the economic landscape, necessitating a holistic approach to risk management that accounts for geopolitical risk factors.
Previous research has extensively investigated various facets of treasury and financial risk management, providing valuable insights into best practices, emerging trends, and empirical evidence regarding the efficacy of different risk management strategies.
Studies have examined the determinants of corporate hedging policies, the impact of financial derivatives on risk management outcomes, the effectiveness of internal control mechanisms in mitigating operational risks, and the role of treasury functions in value creation.
Moreover, research has explored the relationship between risk management practices and firm performance, the influence of regulatory frameworks on risk-taking behavior, and the implications of behavioral biases on decision-making processes within treasury and risk management functions.
The strategic imperative of treasury and financial risk management in a volatile economic landscape is underscored by the need to identify, measure, monitor, and manage exposure to various risks (Kanwar, 2.
This is particularly crucial for highly leveraged financial institutions, where systemic default can lead to externalities that amplify the cost of financial distress (Buffa, 2.
The interaction of capital and risk in trading and treasury units is a key consideration, with a new risk budgeting scheme proposed to align risk appetite with short-term risk limits (Ebnyther, 2.
In this context, the treasury function is increasingly expected to serve as a strategic advisor, supporting growth, liquidity, and marketplace performance (Joy.
The primary objective of the current study is to conduct a quantitative descriptive analysis of treasury and financial risk management practices in volatile economic landscapes.
This entails assessing the prevalence and adoption of various treasury and risk management techniques, identifying key determinants influencing strategy choices, examining the relationship between management effectiveness and firm performance metrics, exploring challenges and opportunities associated with risk management amidst technological disruptions and geopolitical uncertainties, and ultimately providing actionable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and academics.
This introduction lays the groundwork for a comprehensive examination of the strategic imperative of treasury and financial risk management in volatile economic landscapes.
Elucidating the general principles, specific phenomena, relevant research, and objectives of the study sets the stage for rigorous empirical analysis to advance scholarly understanding and inform practical decision-making in finance.
