GLOBAL AND REGIONAL TRENDS IN TRADE FINANCE • Trade finance overall on the rise - Respondents reported an increase in the demand for traditional trade finance instruments to cover the potential risk of default under commercial contracts - 63.3% of respondents have reported an increase in overall trade finance activity - 61.2% of banks have increased their capacity to meet trade finance demand - 25% of respondents consider trade finance significantly less risk than conventional lending

GLOBAL AND REGIONAL TRENDS IN TRADE FINANCE • Global trends in trade finance – Asia strong despite slowing trade growth - 39% of the trade finance transactions concluded by respondents so far in 2015 have been driven by Asian markets - 25.2% of respondents indicated that their main centres for trade processing were in Asia, followed by Europe with 21% and then North America with 14.1%

GLOBAL AND REGIONAL TRENDS IN TRADE FINANCE • Trends across Latin America - Overall, Latin America reported a trade deficit for the second consecutive year in 2014 - Latin American trade deficit is mainly due to the fall in the trade surplus in Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela, and the widening of the trade deficits in Brazil, Columbia, and Peru - De-risking and regulatory changes are adversely affecting trade finance flows and financial inclusion, particularly in higher risk emerging economies in Latin America - According to the Florida International Bankers Association (FIBA): Basel III reforms have created some unintended consequences in Latin America, where a risk weight of up to 150% may be required on short-term loans related to trade finance. By comparison, the risk weight for developed countries runs closer to 20%

IMPACT OF COMPLIANCE • The impact of compliance – widening the trade finance gap - 46% of banks surveyed terminated correspondent relationships due to the cost or complexity of compliance - 70% of respondents reported declining transactions due to AML/KYC - Almost all respondents expect compliance requirements to increase during 2015 - 80% of respondents cite anti- financial crimes compliance requirements as a significant impediment to trade finance – compared to 69% last year

TRADE FINANCE GAPS • SMEs continue to be disadvantaged in trade finance transactions SMEs account for 53% of all rejected trade finance transactions. By contrast, 79% of the trade finance transactions for large corporates are accepted

TRADE FINANCE GAPS • SMEs are a key part of the economy - SMEs constitute over 95% of all firms, and account for approximately 60% of employment globally - The top priority for SMEs is access to information about export opportunities - The productivity gap between small and large firms is particularly large in developing countries Small firms in Germany, for instance, achieve around 70% of the productivity of large firms. In Brazil, small firms realise less than 30% Research conducted by International Trade Centre (ITC)

TRADE FINANCE GAPS • Filling the trade finance gap - ICC encourages new or alternative financiers to support trade - ECAs and MDBs have been filling the trade finance gap (often through Trade Facilitation Programs)
