About this episode

Shoaib Yaqub, Global Head of Capital Structure Advisory, joins Eleanor Hill from TMI to discuss the pressures associated with mobilising cash in a volatile market where forces such as ESG play a key role in influencing investment decisions. Furthermore, given all the excess cash currently sitting on balance sheets, Shoaib considers whether working capital efficiency is sufficiently high on the corporate agenda.
