Evolving Treasury Risk: Integrating Agility, Data and Control

Ahead of Risk Evolve - Treasury Edition, Arnau López Cabot outlines how treasury and risk leaders are confronting a new operating reality defined by speed, transparency and interconnection. He explains that traditional risk frameworks, once focused narrowly on capital and liquidity, are expanding to capture cross-functional dependencies - from funding markets to cyber resilience and counterparty exposures. López Cabot emphasises that agility, powered by data, has become the cornerstone of effective treasury risk management.

He also reflects on the cultural transformation required to make this shift sustainable. Treasury teams, he notes, must evolve from reactive firefighting to proactive insight generation - supported by automation, unified data architectures and stronger alignment with business strategy. The result is a treasury function capable of balancing risk and opportunity in real time, ensuring financial stability even in an era of continual disruption.
