Trade Facilitation Programme
TRADE FACILITATION PROGRAMME: OVERVIEW
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)’s award-winning
Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) was set up in 1999 to promote and facilitate
trade to, from and within the economies where the EBRD invests.
Under the programme, we provide guarantees to international commercial banks,
thereby covering the political and commercial payment risk of transactions
undertaken by partner banks in the EBRD regions.
We also extend short-term loans to selected partner banks and factoring
companies to fund trade-related advances to local companies for pre-shipment and
post-shipment finance, as well as other financing necessary for the performance
of foreign trade contracts and domestic and international factoring operations.
Being part of the TFP means that our partner banks are better able to provide
trade financing to their clients, in turn giving entrepreneurs across the EBRD
regions the support they need to increase their access to the import and export
trade.
We cover all types of trade finance instruments, such as letters of credit,
counter-guarantees, promissory notes, bills of exchange, stand-by letters of
credit, irrevocable reimbursement undertakings (IRU), bid bonds and performance
bonds.
These instruments can be issued to support all types of goods, except
activities, products and substances listed in the TFP Environmental and Social
Exclusion List.
In line with the EBRD’s Green Economy Transition approach, the Green Trade
Facilitation Programme (Green TFP) was set up in 2016. It allows partner banks
to use their existing trade finance facilities to finance the export, import and
local distribution of imported green technologies and materials to aid climate
change adaptation and mitigation.
We are equally working to accelerate the digital transition of trade finance and
correspondent banking. Using policy dialogue, along with awareness and capacity
building, we aim to bridge the digital gaps between our partner banks and global
banks. Supporting our partner banks in their digital transition will pave the
way for new and innovative trade finance business, and allow them to develop
further trade throughout the economies where the EBRD invests.
Since factoring and supply chain finance are fast-growing sources of short-term
financing for suppliers to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, we also
engage with consultants to work with selected banks and factoring companies to
help them establish or improve their factoring operations.
Lastly, we understand the importance of meeting international standards in
financial crime prevention, trade-based AML, Know Your Customer and Customer Due
Diligence in trade finance. To enable our partner banks to meet these standards
we organise seminars and workshops throughout the year, and offer a wide range
of online training and activities.
We work with a large network of local banks in the EBRD regions and worldwide.
If you are an importer or an exporter and are interested in learning how we can
support your international trade business, please contact your local bank (see
the lists of issuing banks and confirming banks below).
