Resilience, transparency and collaboration: How COVID, fraud and ESGs will reshape the ethos of trade finance

Resilience, transparency and collaboration: How COVID, fraud and ESGs will reshape the ethos of trade finance

There have been a number of recent shocks to the trade finance sector which have caused banks to be more risk averse which is creating new challenges for corporates and client banks. 


This panel will consider the effect of the pandemic, fraud and new ESG priorities on trade finance, and the difficulties faced by corporates and client banks in securing financing in this higher risk environment. 


How are these factors transforming trade finance?
