Introduction
During the 19th National Congress in October last year, President Xi Jinping stressed the importance of pursuing the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative, giving equal emphasis to both “bringing in” and “going global”.
In this context, Asset Benchmark Research conducted a survey on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank in the fourth quarter of 2017. The project started in early November and spanned a month during which 150 treasurers and senior treasury/finance executives from Asia, Europe and the US were surveyed.
