The Treasury Verdict: Shock Waves of Euro Crisis Felt in BRICS and Beyond
Companies in growth markets are feeling the pain of the euro crisis.
Negative impact reported in China, India, Southern Africa and Brazil.
London, UK, January 24, 2012 -- Companies in growth markets are feeling
the pain of the euro crisis. A massive 94% of Chinese corporate finance
professionals, 83% in India, 84% in Brazil respondents and 80% in
Southern Africa say they are experiencing some, or considerable, negative
impact or expect to be hit by the crisis in the eurozone.
This is the result of EuroFinance’s recent series of Treasury Verdict
voting sessions on current concerns, sponsored by J.P. Morgan Treasury
Services. Senior treasury and finance professionals at our conferences in
China, Brazil, India and Southern Africa were asked about the impact of
the euro crisis on their business.
The results were as follows:
Impact of euro crisis China India Southern Africa Brazil
Considerable negative impact 20% 21% 24% 12%
Some negative impact 38% 29% 28% 38%
Expected negative impact 36% 33% 28% 34%
No negative impact 6% 17% 20% 16%
Corporate treasurers’ responsibilities include foreign exchange and cash
management within their companies.
“Treasurers hold the purse strings of any company. They see where the
money is flowing. If they are worried about the sovereign debt crisis in
Europe, governments should be too. It doesn’t bode well for growth in
what we are all relying on to be dynamic markets,” warns Katharine
Morton, Managing Editor at EuroFinance.
