ITFA speakers to address ICC Trade Finance Conference

Speakers from the ITFA will address delegates on the final day of the, International Trade Finance Conference Week in Vienna, organised by the International Chamber of Commerce Austria.

Day five of the event, which will be held between 11th and 15th May, and is to be hosted by RZB Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich, is concerned with financial instruments in trade finance. Waltraud Raderschall and Sean Edwards of ITFA’s Market Practice Committee will cover a range of issues including: how forfaiting works and its benefits; the Primary Market Guide and the ITFA Guidelines for the secondary market; matters raised in ITFA’s Market Practice Bulletins and other commercial issues and legal solutions. They will also take the opportunity to introduce ITFA to conference delegates.
