What is Trade Investment & Finance Services?
Trade Investment refers to financing international trading transactions. In this financing arrangement, the bank or other financing institution provides for paying the goods on behalf of the buyer and seller.
Trade Investment means financing a physical Commodity Trade. For a trade to happen there is a seller to sell the goods and a buyer to buy the goods. The payment terms and conditions between the seller and the buyer subject to both parties arrangement to ensure both parties are protected fairly. In some cases, the buyer would use letter of credit through its various intermediaries such as banks or financial institutions which facilitate the trade financing by financing the trade. In other cases, the buyer would engage a funder/lender/investor whom has the credit facility or funds to help in trade financing in opening the letter of credit to the seller’s bank to complete the shipment. There are cases where the seller uses the letter of credit for their finance usage with their lending bank to organize the goods for shipment to the buyer. In the end, the objective in trade investment and finance is to complete the shipments between the buyer and the seller for economic gains for all parties involve.
While a seller (the exporter) can require the purchaser (an importer) to prepay for goods shipped, the purchaser (importer) may wish to reduce risk by requiring the seller to document the goods that have been shipped. Banks may assist by providing various forms of support. For example, the importer's bank may provide a letter of credit to the exporter (or the exporter's bank) providing for payment upon presentation of certain documents, such as a bill of lading. The exporter's bank may make a loan (by advancing funds) to the exporter on the basis of the export contract.
What effect does trade investment & finance have on international trade?
What is the link between finance and trade? There are some new data uses to stress the importance of trade finance for international trade both in crisis and in non-crisis periods. The major policy lesson is that there must be high levels of market incentives for supplying trade credit, particularly during a period of ‘deleveraging’ of the financial system. That said, trade credit statistics could be vastly improved if we wish to continue comparing global trade finance transactions against global trade.
