Treasury management topics have come back as a focal point given the unprecedented challenges through the pandemic and now, post recovery inflationary pressures and rising funding costs. Both globally and within Australia, there is noticeable a trend for integrating siloed risk management strategies within Treasury and automating analytics & reporting by reducing the overhead around manual processes. With key resources freed up from the more operational aspects, the shift to an analytical Treasury has seen an increased demand for a comprehensive balance sheet management solution which can provide consistency & comparability across IRRBB, LRM & FTP as well as to proactively position for an evolving regulatory landscape. Likewise, institutions are looking more closely at Cloud based options over more traditional on-premise deployment to leverage the scalability and accessibility benefits whilst reducing the IT expenditure on both hardware and personnel”
