This report is the result of a remarkable collaboration between ICC, the ICC Banking Commission secretariat and governance bodies, the report Editorial team and numerous organizations and individuals who have contributed and supported this publication.

With 255 responses from banks located in 98 countries, as well as various contributions from leading experts in the field, “Rethinking Trade & Finance” is the most extensive gauge of the trends and outlook of the global trade finance industry.  It aims to provide insight and analysis to help readers formulate strategy and make decisions that will advance the evolution of global trade.

The 2017 edition comes at a transformational moment in the history of trade and the global economic system. The report has its roots at the peak of the global financial crisis, and has since earned its place as a leading publication on the subject of trade, finance and economic inclusiveness.

The Report encompasses four major sections of content linked to the pillars of the Banking Commission’s strategy. It focuses on the state of the trade finance market; trade and supply chain finance; policy, advocacy and inclusiveness around global trade; and digitisation and the state of FinTech.

This year’s report continues a strong tradition of quality analysis, global collaboration and effective advocacy in support of trade financing, international commerce and international development. These efforts have been supported by contributions from a wide range of partners across global trade, and by our new Editorial Board consisting of senior specialists and practitioners, to whom we extend our special thanks:

  • Alexander R. Malaket, Chair of ICC Banking Commission Market Intelligence
  • Dominic Broom, Global Head of Trade Business Development, BNY Mellon
  • Mark Evans, Managing Director, Transaction Banking at ANZ
