Global Cash Management Survey

The J.P. Morgan Global Cash Management Survey started back in 1999 to identify and comment upon the cash management preferences of corporate treasurers around the world. In the subsequent ten years it has grown into one of the most comprehensive and informative annual examinations of the corporate cash management industry.

This latest survey was conducted by online questionnaire between July and September 2009 and attracted an impressive response rate, with a record 334 treasurers from across Europe, the US and Asia providing feedback. The survey has once again also captured views from treasurers representing organisations of all sizes, from small-caps to leading multinationals. Indeed, the wide geographical spread and broad industry coverage achieved in this year’s survey makes it one of the most comprehensive to date. At the same time, with all of the responses received in the run up to the first anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the report shows in detail how the global banking crisis and subsequent economic downturn has impacted the cash management strategies and policies of corporate treasurers worldwide.
