Contextualising the Role of Trade Finance
Trade is taking centre stage in world affairs, and with good reason! In this video, Aidan provides an explanation of what will be covered in this series on Trade Finance.
Overview
Credit support for trade finance deals is especially important, because the risks relate more towards the underlying goods/receivables. The assessment breaks transactional risk down into three key components where the lender is able to assess risk based on where it actually lies, not on the balance sheet.
Key learning objectives:
What credit assessment is required for trade finance deals?
What is the importance of legal support?
What are the benefits of establishing distribution channels?
