Focus on Corporate Finance

Geopolitical tensions continue to reshape global trade and investment flows, and corporate treasurers, CFOs, and finance leaders are navigating the consequences: fragmented supply chains, shifting capital allocation strategies, evolving regulatory frameworks, and sustained market volatility.

Luxembourg for Finance's upcoming Focus on Corporate Finance addresses three practical pressure points. Treasury and working capital management in a 24/7 payments environment, as instant payments, PSD3, and rising cyber and sanctions exposure demand real-time visibility and stronger operational discipline. Corporate funding strategy under the EU’s Savings and Investments Union, where bank lending, private credit, and public markets carry different terms and the policy case for diversification is growing. And strategic M&A from the corporate side, examining how international groups balance external growth, integration risk, and financing discipline when the macro environment is unstable.

A closing fireside chat on Securitisation 2.0 examines how regulatory reform can translate into tangible real-economy lending, rather than remaining a structural exercise.

Bringing together treasury professionals, capital markets practitioners, corporate finance advisers, and legal specialists, our Focus on Corporate Finance examines how firms can build funding resilience, drawing on Luxembourg’s position at the intersection of banking, payments, private credit, and capital markets infrastructure.
