Chief financial officers are often seen as finance gatekeepers. Their job is to ensure the company has the right financial reserves, a strong balance sheet, and the in-depth forecasts that allow their CEOs to take the right steps forward. The pandemic changed this perspective. It shifted the finance role to the front and centre of organizations, with CFOs tasked to find the right steps forward in the absence of long-term forecasts.

In my last post , I described the wild ride that the price of risk took in 2020, with equity risk premiums and default spreads initially sky rocketing, as the virus led to global economic shutdowns, and then just as abruptly dropping back to pre-crisis levels over the course of the year. As stock and bond markets went through these gyrations, it should come as no surprise that the same forces were playing out in other markets as well.

But the simplicity ends there. For convenience store chains and independents, fuel is a razor-thin business.
