Cost saving centre

Corporate treasury - treasury organisation - response to risk.

Treasury cost saving centres are a more risk-tolerant variant on a pure cost centre.

A cost saving centre is a treasury which - like a cost centre treasury - acts primarily as a service function, but which is allowed a degree of discretion about when to hedge, with a view to reducing net costs.

They are sometimes also known as value-added centre treasuries.
