The ACT rings closing bell at the London Stock Exchange

Treasurers welcomed to the London Stock Exchange to discuss strategic capital management for corporate resilience in uncertain times
 

As the first event in the ACT's autumn programme, it was a great opportunity for an update on the challenging business environment and the strategic capital management choices to build corporate resilience in these uncertain times. 

After the presentation, hosted by the LSEG, came the chance to watch the iconic market close ceremony at the exchange’s Paternoster Square headquarters.

Close relationship

Tariq Kazi, president of the ACT, said: “Thank you to the London Stock Exchange for hosting our member event, and for inviting ACT members to watch the market close. Many of the ACT’s members work within companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, making today’s event particularly meaningful. We look forward to continuing our close relationship with the London Stock Exchange and other key stakeholders to champion the strategic importance of treasury in driving sustainable business success.”
