Read more Coffee Break 3:20 pm -3:40 pm Presentation 3:40 pm -4:00 pm NAVIGATING THE SHIP THROUGH THE STORM OF INFLATION Just when we thought that Covidâs behind us and days of uncertainty are over, a new fog of uncertainty is enshrouding us in form of record breaking inflation, soaring interest rates, lingering supply chain issues significant foreign-exchange rates movement, and mounting fears of a looming recession. These interconnected issues raise paradox of choice for finance leaders, and in some cases poses a decision paralysis or at least a slowdown: * How should pricing be handled, given cost pressures and consequently squeezing margins? Should it be sudden price increase or should it be staggered? Should price increases be more than competitor, or less? * How to optimise costs? Should companies start scaling down in preparation of recession or should the expansionary objectives be continued? * Should high growth CAPEX be continued or should cash be preserved and debts kept at lower level * Should inventory buffers be created to hedge against supply chain issues or should working capital be minimised at a time when interest rate and other carrying costs are increasing This session would discuss some of these questions and some options to balance the paradoxes; including Revenue Management, Cost Optimisation, and maintaining Resilient Balance Sheet.
