We are bringing together 180+ specialist group treasurers and CFOs from across APAC to understand the evolving treasury landscape better and examine key challenges they face in daily operations.

As volatility becomes a feature of the operating environment, Philippine treasury leaders are placing greater emphasis on resilience, funding flexibility, and strategic decision-making, rather than only reacting to market disruption, according to senior execs. 

The Mapletree Investments finance chief will succeed Png Chin Yee, who will focus on leading Temasek Singapore.

Teo, former head of treasury and finance function, SEA, at ESR Group, joined the Japanese bank earlier this month in Singapore. 

Proceeds from the zero-coupon convertible bond will be used for refinancing existing debt, including another convertible bond, share buy-backs and general corporate purposes, as the PC giant ramps up AI investment. 

The financial affiliate of Hyundai Motor Group has become the first Korean credit-specialised firm to issue the instrument in both US dollars and renminbi; the issuance is structured as a green bond. 

Payment Asia's merchant network will be able to connect with PayMe, which is used widely in Hong Kong, and has a user base of over 3.3 million. 

As the Indonesian firm, which owns one of the largest gold mines in Apac, seeks to deepen its engagement with global capital markets, cornerstone investors have committed to invest $152m, representing 49.9% of the depositary receipts. 

The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to the highest level since 1995 and and said it will stop paring back its bond purchases from April 2027, amid rising energy costs and firming inflation expectations. The US Fed has held rates steady at the new chair&#8217;s first meeting.

Finance professionals across Asia are navigating a fundamental shift in how accounting work gets done and the tools driving that shift are already embedded in the software many firms use every day.

AI can transform trade finance &#8211; but only when built on a strong digital foundation. Creating connected data and workflows is essential to prevent automation falling short of delivering real efficiency, control and scalable impact, according to Komgo.

To help tackle unprecedented complexity &#8211; from fluctuating rates to FX volatility to regulatory change &#8211; BNY Investments believes proven instruments like money market funds can blend with innovative tools such as stablecoins and tokenised assets to offer resilient, real-time liquidity solutions for corporate treasurers.

Treasurers across Asia Pacific (APAC) have a raft of priorities as they navigate a turbulent economic landscape and look to embrace change: real-time payments, liquidity optimisation, risk management and digital innovation. These all call for a new approach to solutions, technology and partnerships.

Asian corporates are looking beyond preconceptions about the role of fractional chief financial officers amid a global talent shortage and, in particular, among smaller firms with a close eye on costs. Paul Golden reports. 

Amid a strong bond market, the government is prioritising taxes, tax agreements and talent, to encourage more firms, including from Belt and Road countries, to set-up treasury centres in the SAR; proposals will be sent to LegCo in 2027. 

CT's 2026 Awards, that recognise a wide range of treasury strategies and functions across Apac and the Middle East, are still open for entry. 

The former Citibank executive succeeds Anthony Mathias amid a series of leadership appointments at the oil and gas firm. 

As the transport giant attracts more non-Asian investors, Hong Kong's MTR Corporation said it has entered a new phase of growth of its low-carbon railway infrastructure in Hong Kong as part of its sustainability framework. 

The framework will support IDR-CNH settlement between Indonesia and Hong Kong, alongside moves to enhance Indonesia-China QR payment connectivity and CIPS access.

The Hong Kong-based banker was most recently the bank's head of technology and communications corporate banking for Japan, Asia North and Australia, and Asia South.
