Non-traditional ways of providing and/or
securing trade credit will be explained and discussed. These
will include:
· Payment Undertakings linked to undisclosed guarantees
· Single risk credit insurance and political risks
insurance
· Discounting of Electronic Bills of Exchange (Global
Settlement Network Limited)
· TradeCard
· Portfolio Management of Accounts Receivable
· Credit Default Swaps
· Islamic Bank support
How do these mechanisms work in practice? What are the practical
hurdles to be cleared before they can be employed? What
steps can be taken to gain acceptance of such new approaches
in-house?
