Shaping the future: Transformations in trade finance and risk management

This July edition of the BUlletin presents diverse insights from the evolving edge of global finance and trade. Industry experts explore timely topics including the powerful synergy between factoring and credit insurance, the impact of Basel IV, and ECAs as drivers of global trade. SINOSURE’s digital transformation and its tailored measures for China’s service trade are explored, and subject matter experts’ perspectives on the present state of cyber risk in trade finance and strategies for building resilience in post-global supply chains are highlighted. Finally, we analyse trends in MLT business in LATAM and the Caribbean.

Many thanks to all contributing authors - Romanie Peters, Credendo; Dennis Essers, National Bank of Belgium; Betül Kurtulus, Spyros Tsolis, FCI; Yuwen Jun, Han Yushi, Wang Xin, SINOSURE; John Manners-Bell, Ti Insight and Foundation for Future Supply Chain; Fausto Galmarini, EUF; Yoon Myoung Cho, K-SURE; Lewis Evans, Berne Union; Frederik Soendergaard-Jensen, Lifu Technologies
