ICC Bangladesh, The world business organization, will hold a day-long Workshop on Risk Management in Trade Financing at Hotel The Peninsula Chittagong, Chattogram on Saturday, 1 February 2025.
Risk management in trade finance is a critical aspect of international trade, aimed at minimizing potential risks associated with cross-border transactions, which are inherently complex due to the involvement of multiple parties, jurisdictions, and regulations. Trade finance risks have direct associations and implications for the cross-border trading activities and the associated services that received notable impetus following the international trade disruptions due to the Covid-19 devastations.
Bangladesh’s economy has increasingly been getting involved in international trade transactions, and as such improved and efficient cross-border trade will have notable implications for the country’s LDC graduation process. The regulatory environment entails greater involvement of the trade finance banks having greater risks. In the context of growing business complexities, higher compliance requirements, widespread technological adoption, high market expectations, and growing financial crimes, trade finance is becoming increasingly challenging to the banks of the country.
The Workshop will be beneficial for the officials of Bangladesh Bank, commercial banks, non-banking financial institutions, shippers, freight forwarders, exporters, importers, risk management department and legal experts dealing with international trade to understand the complex cross-border trade landscape for tasking appropriate measures for trade finance risk management. CDCS, CSDG & CSCF participants will receive 8 (eight) PDUs for re-certification by attending this workshop.
