1. Trade Finance
With L/Cs, Guarantees, Promissory Notes as the underlying instruments, we will be able to arrange confirmation, re-issue and short term financing for the issuing banks, so that they can work with their clients on business development and funding needs.
2. Loans
For bank that needs flexibility in amount, tenor and purpose of financing to support customers’ imports and exports, the traditional trade finance arrangement with its limitation to a specific customer or a specific transaction, may not be able to meet requirement. In response to this, for banks expanding in the trade finance business, we will be able to arrange medium to long term loans in the form of bilateral, club or syndication to support their funding needs.
3. Risk Participation
The banking industry is more and more concerned with country risk and bank risk, depending on the background, strategy and risk appetite of a bank, various measures have been set up to limit the exposure in order to control the risk level. Under this arrangement, customer may not be able to get financing from the bank if its limit for the country/bank is full. Since then, Risk Participation arrangement is becoming popular between banks, with agreement in place banks from different countries and backgrounds can cooperate and share the country/bank risk of transactions. Moreover, banks can better manage their liquidity by risk participation arrangement in case of needs.
