5 key takeaways from the webinar

  1. Unilateral tariffs on key trading partners are currently influencing over 40% of US imports. This could result in a potential GDP reduction of around USD250 billion, alongside increased costs for businesses.
  2. In response to prolonged tariffs, companies are proactively diversifying their supply chains and exploring alternative sourcing options to enhance operational resilience.
  3. The transition to digital treasury tools is revolutionising cash management. By improving cash flow visibility and optimising working capital, businesses can better navigate tighter margins and enhance their financial agility.
  4. Recent tariff announcements have introduced significant fluctuations in currency markets, highlighting the importance of robust foreign exchange strategies.
  5. Companies are encouraged to embrace a mindset of innovation and global thinking. By capitalising on emerging opportunities and staying informed about regulatory changes, businesses can position themselves for continued success.
We hope you find the replay insightful and valuable for your strategic planning. Please reach out to your HSBC representative if you would like to follow up, and receive an invite of the next call in our series.
