Eurozone: crisis and opportunity

Recent events in Greece and Spain have ensured all eyes remain firmly focused on the continued financial instability within the eurozone. With predictions ongoing, it is important to remember that they are in unprecedented times. While many manufacturing companies are aware of the potential risks, not all have contingency plans in place that would meet the demands of extremely volatile markets. Clear and structured contingency planning is essential and manufacturers should begin by: 1. considering your eurozone assets, 2. counterparty credit risk, 3. assessing how a more volatile FX environment could impact results and cash, and 4. reassessing your liquidity position.
