As in previous years, the Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) of the EBRD invited its members and everyone interested in the topic of international and intra-regional trade finance banking to attend the annual TFP event within the framework of the Annual Meeting 2013.
TFP currently includes over 102 Issuing Banks in the EBRD region and more than 800 Confirming Banks worldwide. In the last three years, the Programme provided essential support to its members and secured growing cross-border trade finance flows as well as local financing of export-import transactions and factoring in the volatile financial market environment.
This year’s half-day event offered a unique opportunity to review and discuss contemporary trade finance banking topics and share know-how including statistics, trends, and specifics through presentations by professional trade finance bankers and specialists. Amongst the topics presented were recent developments in trade finance facilitation, intra-regional trade including between SEE, CIS and Turkey as well as SEMED countries, and technical cooperation projects.
