Trade Finance Week presents: African Trade - Digitalisation, Compliance and Sustainability - Standard Bank and Afreximbank
Trade Finance Talks - A podcast by Trade Finance Global
Categories:
As part of Trade Finance Week by ICC Austria, we continued Trade Finance Week, with an African view on global trade. For trade and supply chains in Africa, access to trade finance, the past 15 months have been incredibly tough for lives, livelihoods and economies, particularly in emerging developing markets. But trade must go on. If anything, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated many efforts to rethink the way we do trade. Is paper really necessary and is there a way that we can rethink trade documents? How has trade based financial crime fared in Africa, and what must we do to keep bad actors out of the trade system? And is this finally an opportunity for us to bring sustainability right to the forefront, as a business imperative, rather than just a nice to have? In this podcast, we talk AfCTFA, MANSA and the digital future of African trade, discussing trade digitisation, risk and compliance and sustainability.
