Citi’s numbers show multi-currency notional pooling is alive & well, even in a very low % market

Multi-currency notional pooling at Citi has grown rapidly over the last 2-3 years, driven by global corporates’ appetite for greater liquidity efficiency. Increasing numbers of companies are centralizing global liquidity to the greatest level possible within regulations:

  • Citi reports that end of day cash aggregation structures, via their Global Concentration Engine, has jumped 43% in the last 3 years.
  • notional pooling structures offered at Citi’s global money center hubs in New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and just-released Amsterdam have increased 55% in the past two years as companies are more often using notional pooling to optimise this centralised  liquidity across dozens of currencies, including key emerging market currencies such as Chinese RMB.
  • companies are more often using online analytics to track and manage liquidity positions more actively - even though most large corporates have treasury workstations. Citi reports that many are using its TreasuryVision® for customised analytics of global liquidity and for cash flow forecasting. The Citi TreasuryVision client base has grown 300%+ over the last 2 years.

Future Developments 
In the fourth quarter of this year, Citi will launche TreasuryVision Liquidity Manager to provide companies with web-based customized views of their global liquidity and pooling structures. In 2014, Citi will continue to expand its Global Concentration Engine to include cross-border liquidity solutions in Latin America and other markets as they liberalise.
