Financial Supply Chains The trade landscape
In an increasingly interconnected world, many businesses source goods and services from all over the world on open payment terms. Such a complex global supply chain presents challenges for both the buyers and suppliers.

Will buyers complete payment in agreed timescales? Do suppliers have sufficient liquidity to fulfil orders? What can be done to optimise working capital?
The trade landscape is constantly evolving due to large scale structural changes in both the global economy and international trade.
We are committed to helping clients structure a global approach to managing risk and navigating the changing landscape that they are experiencing in cross-border trade, from political reforms and regulatory changes to developments in new technologies.
