SUMMARY:8th Trade Policy Dialogue: Trade finance under COVID-19
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Experience of development banks\, export-import banks and expor
 t credit insurers indeveloping countries International trade showed signs
  of a strong recovery in the third quarter of 2021\, yet the pace of growt
 h remained uneven across countries and regions.Trade flows continued to in
 crease more strongly for developed economies than for developing ones. One
  of the possible reasons for the delayed trade recovery in developing coun
 tries is the lack of sufficient and adequate provision of trade finance 
 – export credit\, export guarantee\, and export/import insurance.A recen
 t estimate by the International Chamber of Commerce suggests a global gap
  of around US$ 2.5 trillion to US$ 5 trillion to adequately meet the deman
 d for trade finance in the post-COVID recovery period up to 2025.How signi
 ficant is the lack of trade finance in developing countries and LDCs? The 
 session seeks to shed light on the specific situations of trade finance in
  these economies. Key questionsWhat challenges do the providers of trade 
 finance face in developing countries?How have these institutions sought to
  address the challenges associated with trade finance?How can the internat
 ional community\, including through regional cooperation\, help address tr
 ade finance challenges? Watch event recordinghttps://youtu.be/QBn4NxFWZ70
