In the field of corporate finance, where changes are constant and uncertainty prevails, companies face significant challenges that can affect their economic stability. To better understand how to manage these risks and adapt to market volatility, it is essential to know what financial volatility is and how advanced analytics can be a solution.
Luis Barrientos, risk expert at SAS Latin America, explains that financial volatility refers to the speed and magnitude with which the prices of financial assets, such as stocks or currencies, change. These changes can be caused by several factors, including the economic decisions of large countries, inflation and the policies of Central Banks.
These global and regional factors have a direct impact. The recent US “nearshoring” policy, which seeks to shift investments from Asia to Latin America, presents both opportunities and challenges for the region. The ability of countries to attract these investments will be crucial to boost economic growth and manage the risks associated with financial volatility.
The role of advanced analytics
Advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are crucial tools to address these challenges. “Analytics allows companies to evaluate multiple scenarios and make informed decisions based on solid data,” says Barrientos. This is essential to understand where the economy is headed and how companies must adapt.
SAS analytics solutions enable you to assess how changes in interest rates and exchange rates affect your operations, analyze the impact of political events, such as elections, on investor confidence, and adapt your strategies in real time based on market conditions.
In Panama, where the economy is influenced by global and regional factors, these analytics and AI solutions can provide a crucial starting point. The ability to collect, process and analyze data in a timely and accurate manner allows companies to anticipate changes and make informed decisions.
Furthermore, investing in technology and in the development of human talent is essential. Companies that invest in advanced analytics and in their staff not only mitigate risks, but also take advantage of growth opportunities.
