A treasurer’s survival guide to navigating geopolitical risk

In my latest opinion piece for AGBI – Arabian Gulf Business Insight, I am proposing a treasurer’s survival guide to navigating geopolitical risk.

“For decades, corporate treasurers in the Middle East operated within a broadly predictable geopolitical framework. Long-held assumptions about international security architecture, trade currencies and supply-chain stability – largely underwritten by a US-led global order – formed the bedrock of financial strategy.“

“That era is over. We have entered a more fluid and multipolar world, where the fundamental tenets of risk management are being rewritten.“

Thank you to Alicia Buller for having this piece published.
