A healthy cash flow is an essential component for the smooth operations of any given company. Small and medium-sized companies are particularly sensitive to disruptions in their cash flow, and this means that issues like late payments can have a more negative impact on their operations, even leading to their bankruptcy. It is therefore important for companies to have a clear understanding of the payment landscape in the country they operate and the tools available to them to avoid and address instances of late payments.
The EU SME Centre and the European Chamber are pleased to invite you to our next Working Group meeting, where North Asia Economist at Coface, Junyu Tan, will provide an overview of the 2024 Coface China Corporate Payment Survey. The meeting will take place online on Tuesday, 25th June from 10:00 to 11:00.
