The Need For Trade Finance

Trade Finance Gap

There are many cases when trade is not taking place because of demand/supply shortfall for trade finance instruments such as letters of credit, documentary collections, bank guarantees, factoring, and supply chain finance solutions. 

Severity & Impact of  That  Challenge

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has estimated that Gap to amount to $ 2.5 trillion with many economists now estimating it at well over $3 trillion. SMEs experience higher rejection rates for trade finance requests compared to larger corporations, often in the range of 40 – 45%.

Four reasons for the Trade Finance Gap

1.Regulatory Constraints: Strict regulatory requirements and capital controls may limit banks’ ability or willingness to extend trade credit.

2.Risk Perception: Lenders’ concerns about political, economic, or credit risks in certain regions or sectors can lead to reduced availability of credit.

3.Lack of Information: Insufficient access to reliable information about trading partners or market conditions can make financial institutions hesitant to provide funding.

4.Cost and Complexity: The process of financing international transactions can be complex and costly, deterring banks from offering such services.
