At the Swiss WCM Summit held on 28 August 2018 in Zurich, the Supply Chain Finance Lab at the University of St. Gallen and PostFinance presented the findings of their latest study on the trend topic of supply chain finance. This is currently a key issue for many CEOs and CFOs. It is clear that innovative solutions for financing the supply chain are available, and Swiss companies also believe they offer potential. They are nevertheless still lagging behind when it comes to using them.

PostFinance generated earnings before tax (EBT) of 125 million francs in the first half of 2018. That is 247 million francs less than in the first six months of the previous year. This decline was mainly due to a significant drop in income from the interest differential business and to a one-off item in the previous year. This negative development is in line with expectations created by the persistently low interest rates on the money and capital markets, and the trend is set to continue.
