The opening session of the talkingtreasury conference looked at the impact of the credit crisis on corporate liquidity and funding, and was led by Gerry Bacon of Anthem Corporate Finance and former Vodafone group treasurer. Along with the ACT’s policy and technical team, he was heavily involved in the preparation of the ACT survey (Credit Crisis and Corporates: funding and beyond) and spent some time giving an overview of the report’s findings. This laid the foundations for a panel discussion involving corporates of considerably differing sizes and financial needs.
