Efficiency in payment ecosystems
Payments innovation is a key driver in propelling efficiency in B2B transactions, as well as optimising working capital, at a time when companies throughout Europe are facing challenging economic headwinds. As inflation tracks close to 10 percent and interest rates rise in the eurozone, financial institutions and the companies they serve are creating solutions to reduce costs in payment ecosystems. Yet the underlying fundamentals in Europe are strong, the economy is forecast to pick up to 1.5% growth and inflation to fall to 2.6% in 2024 with budget deficits and unemployment rates across Europe remaining stable, according to the European Commission. In this conference, business, banks and technology partners discussed the latest iterations and markers in the evolution of the European B2B payments ecosystem, and shared ideas, experiences and insights on how corporates can improve, integrate and innovate commercial payments systems for greater wins as the economy recovers into 2024.
