Structured Trade FinanceThe following financing forms are feasible:
 | Export pre-financing |
The loan is extended to a company located in a developing country or emerging market which uses the funds for production, buying and/or stock-keeping. The loan is repaid from the export revenues which are generated by deliveries from the emerging market to buyers of impeccable credit standing in industrialised countries.
| Tolling financing |
The loan funds are used by the borrower located in a low wage country to import raw materials. After further processing, the produced goods are exported and the loan repaid from the export revenues.
| Counter-trade financing |
If counter-traded goods do not completely balance each other out on a value basis and payments become necessary, financing requirements, which we cover, can also arise with counter-trade transactions.
| Structured export financing |
For the financing of larger-volume investments, a combination of traditional export financing and structured trade financing is an excellent option. Here the loan in addition to the ECA cover is secured via a counter-trade agreement.
As structured trade financing generally deals with countries which have a poor rating on account of the particular country risk, the core task is to draw up a financing concept with a calculable and justifiable risk. In particular, conversion and transfer risks are converted into settlement risks in developing countries.
The product focus of the New York Branch is in commodity trade finance in the USA and NAFTA.
The Singapore Branch focuses on the financing of commodity traders in South-East Asia (country focus: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand) and India.
