## Source summary

Treasury Today reports Nestlé regional treasurer Nora Naadu Sena's experience managing shipping disruption, outgoing payments and distributor collections. She says existing credit facilities covered funding needs, an international bank offered alternative processing locations using the existing SWIFT connection, and local branch closures required new banking arrangements for collections. This is an attributed operational account, not proof that every regional payment channel has recovered.

## Why it matters
