This study investigates the contemporary role of banks’ treasuries and shows how the treasury function is being transformed across the banking sector. Using a sample of international surveys of banks representing both emerging and advanced markets (with 35% of banks representing the Asia–Pacific region), we analyze the current and future challenges faced by treasuries. Including the Asia–Pacific banks in the analysis enables comparison of how the treasury departments differ in their search of revenue diversification under the conditions of tighter credit and liquidity, and what are the problems associated with treasury products offering as part of the revised strategies.
