Interest rates remain top of mind for finance chiefs, survey finds

In a recent survey of 183 finance and accounting leaders in the U.S., concerns about interest rate fluctuations and working capital ranked as the biggest treasury concerns.

When asked to name their biggest treasury-related worries, 48% of respondents selected “interest-rate volatility.”

An equal share chose “working-capital optimization,” in response to the question, which allowed respondents to select multiple responses.

Access to capital, cited by 42% of respondents, was another treasury-related concern, per the survey.

The annual survey also found high confidence among respondents, who worked at organizations with annual revenue ranging from around $1 million to more than $10 billion.

The survey also found that 83% of respondents were confident that their organizations will achieve their 2026 financial objectives. See more findings.
