Corporate treasurers focus on risk, AI, tokenisation, and resilience in the second half of 2026, says the latest J.P. Morgan survey
- According to a new J.P. Morgan survey, treasury leaders from 26 countries and over 60 industries expect persistent volatility and emphasise continuous scenario management amid geopolitical tensions, inflation, interest-rate risks, and cybersecurity threats.
- Over 50% of respondents identify ongoing conflicts as the biggest barrier to long-term business planning, with cautious economic outlooks favouring stress-testing liquidity under adverse conditions.
- AI adoption is shifting from experimentation to operational use, targeting employee productivity, forecasting, automated reporting, and fraud detection to improve decision-making and reduce operational losses.
- Successful AI deployment depends on data quality, process documentation, and governance, while tokenisation is gaining traction for programmable payments, avoiding cutoff windows, and enhancing transaction security.
- Over 40% of treasurers anticipate increased M&A activity in 2H 2026, with capital structure management focusing on flexible leverage, liquidity buffers, and diversified funding aligned with strategic plans.
- Top priorities include improving cash flow and working capital, implementing new technologies, reducing costs, and streamlining processes, balancing modernisation with risk reduction amid resource constraints.
