Managing non-USD cash can involve a different set of decisions than investing a centralized USD portfolio. Depending on the market, currency and legal entity, companies may choose to invest locally, convert and repatriate cash, centralize balances, or maintain liquidity in-country for operating needs.
In this session, members will compare how they determine the right approach for foreign-currency cash and what drives the decision to invest versus move funds elsewhere.
Topics may include:
- Which currencies and markets members actively invest versus repatriate or centralize
- How companies determine how much cash needs to remain locally
- What drives conversion and repatriation timing
- Investment products used when cash remains in-country
- How FX, tax, regulatory and liquidity considerations influence the decision
- Whether foreign-currency cash is managed centrally or locally
- Markets where investing locally is difficult or not worth the operational effort
