Around 40 treasury professionals gathered in Athens on 18 June for "Treasury in Unpredictable Markets: Rates, Risks & Real Decisions," an event hosted by Cobase and Corpay Cross-Border Solutions in collaboration with The Treasury Community Greece.
Held at Okra Acropolis Athens, the event brought together treasury professionals, clients, partners, and market experts to discuss two topics currently high on every treasury agenda: maintaining liquidity in an increasingly unpredictable environment and understanding the implications of recent ECB interest rate decisions.
Markets remain difficult to read. Interest rate paths are uncertain, inflation has yet to fully settle, and geopolitical tensions continue to create volatility across financial markets. Against this backdrop, treasury teams are expected to make informed, day-to-day decisions that protect liquidity, manage risk, and support business growth.
The event provided an opportunity for treasury professionals to exchange views, share experiences, and discuss how organizations can make solid decisions amid ongoing uncertainty.
Attendees heard from industry experts Matthias Varenkamp (Cobase), Mark Elser (Corpay Cross-Border Solutions), and Ricardo Stolz (Corpay Cross-Border Solutions). Together, they explored recent market developments, the evolving interest rate environment, and how these trends translate into everyday treasury challenges. The discussion also highlighted how greater visibility and control can help organizations move from reactive to proactive treasury management.
One of the most valuable aspects of the evening was the open exchange of perspectives from treasury professionals across the market. The interactive discussions reflected the shared challenges many organizations face as they navigate changing economic conditions and increasing complexity.
The evening concluded with food, drinks, and networking, allowing attendees to continue conversations and strengthen connections within the treasury community.
Cobase would like to thank Marianna Polykrati, The Treasury Community Greece, Corpay Cross-Border Solutions, and everyone who joined us for contributing to a successful and engaging event. The strong turnout and lively discussions demonstrated the value of bringing treasury professionals together to share insights, learn from one another, and navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.
