The International Chamber of Commerce UK and newly launched International Centre for Digital Trade and Innovation have published a paper outlining a “roadmap” to digitalise trade. The benefits of moving away from paper are well documented, speeding up transaction time and reducing the risk of fraud.

Banks in the EU are gearing up for the implementation of new capital requirement rules when Basel 4 takes effect on January 1 next year, but doubts remain over the treatment of key trade finance products. Even though the deadline is just days away, there are still differing interpretations of capital rules for medium- and long-term trade finance guarantees and concerns about the impact of the reforms on banks’ use of credit insurance. #trade #tradefinance
