Trade Finance Overview -(Voiceless PowerPoint)
Conducting business on credit terms with any counterparty requires a lot of trust, particularly when the two parties are unknown to each other. Conducting trade with a foreign partner in another country makes the process even more complicated. The concept of Trade Finance has evolved to help resolve as many of these trust issues as possible.
Trade partners, their advisors, and the financial institutions that represent them use a variety of insurance products, creative payment terms, and financing structures to try and create optimal conditions for each party.
