Companies who export often have certain positive characteristics, from being able to pay higher wages to having more ambitious, active and dynamic owners. So why aren't more companies doing it? Christian Fraser (Journalist & Broadcaster), Jane Smith (Jointine), Richard Cotton (AAA Holding Group) and Sarah Murrow (Allianz Trade) looked to tackle one of the issues of our time. The discussion at #GTRUK on June 20 addressed what makes a successful exporter, provided practical guidance on managing your supply chains in frontier markets, explored what can help get new entrants into exporting as well as to what extent companies align their activities alongside the free trade agreements and identified the myths that need to be ‘busted’ when it comes to utilising export credit. #TradeFinance #ExportFinance

After years of promising much but delivering relatively little, there are now signs of tangible progress being made when it comes to electronic bills of lading (eBLs). February 2024 saw a prominent UK lender sign onto a blockchain-based electronic trade documentation platform, a strategic leap forward for banks looking to support corporates as they digitise whilst enhancing customer satisfaction. Elsewhere, a recent collaboration involving banks, eBL platforms and Swift successfully trialled an interoperability solution. At #GTRUK on June 20, market leaders Terry Hubert (Swift), Stephane Graber (FIATA), Paul Rogers (BNY), Bojan Čekrlić (CargoX) and Robert Parson (Squire Patton Boggs) examined the significance of these developments and how enhanced use of technology provides clients with access to a larger global network. #TradeFinance

At #GTRUK on June 20, panellists Eric Balish (Bank ABC), Sunil Senapati (XDC Trade Network), Tim Shell (Stenn Technologies), Waldo de Vleeschauwer (Artis Finance) and Ram Kewalramani (Credable) assessed how alternative finance providers are deploying working capital as part of concerted initiatives to plug the funding gap and considered how #fintechs and alternative financiers can unlock liquidity and deliver it to companies alongside their banking partners. #TradeFinance

Trade-related financial crime continues to be big business, with fraud, bribery and money laundering posing huge problems across the sector. Meanwhile, the UK government recently readied the launch of a trade sanctions enforcement unit to support enforcing restrictions on an estimated US$20bn of UK goods. The impact of this more heightened risk environment was examined by Mark Ling (Santander Corporate & Commercial Banking), Natalia Dziedzic (Czarnikow Group), Anila Haleem (UK Finance), Drs. Ing. Edwin HJ de Groot (Conpend) and Kim Manchester (ManchesterCF Financial Intelligence) at #GTRUK on June 20. The discussion focused on the impact on corporates, due diligence and #KYC, providing insights into ‘red flags’ and practical guidance on how best to maintain compliance and the role of behavioural analysis and analytics technology. #TradeFinance #SupplyChainFinance #ExportFinance
