Note: Following the seminar, the speakers will be available for individual consultations.

Discussion will include the recent global economic performance and outlook; the slide of the US dollar in the FX market and what to expect for the remainder of 2008. New challenges for importers and exporters as the US dollar reaches historic lows against major currencies will also be addressed. The latter topic is a must for all CEOs and CFOs with exposure to world markets, from cross-border procurement to selling internationally, structuring overseas joint ventures, and funding foreign subsidiaries. FX management can mean success or failure to an otherwise solid business plan.

Program highlights:

  • Current trends in the world economy and how they affect U.S. business
  • Value of the U.S. dollar, a retrospective of where it has been and where it might
    be headed in 2009
  • New challenges when negotiating international contracts
  • Protecting cash flow and asset valuation from FX risk
