Market Challenges

• The trade finance market can be significantly impacted by trade wars between countries. In 2018, the US imposed tariffs on various imports from the EU, Canada, China, and Mexico, leading to retaliatory actions from these countries. This resulted in increased duties on agricultural products and motorcycles from the US, affecting international trade. In 2023, the US initiated an investigation against China’s trade policies, potentially leading to a larger trade war.
• These conflicts can negatively impact the trading relationship between countries and decrease international trade, which may affect the trade finance market during the forecast period.
• In the complex and dynamic world of Trade Finance, several challenges persist. These include regulatory requirements, such as Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance.
• Technology plays a crucial role, with the need for secure and efficient systems to manage transactions and mitigate risks. Another challenge is the increasing use of digital currencies and blockchain technology, which require new approaches to financing and risk management. Additionally, trade finance faces competition from other financial instruments, making it essential to offer competitive pricing and services.
