Global Head of Commodity Trade Finance

UBS

“The Global Commodity Trade Finance Industry Report 2021 provided a forward view of our industry based on the insights of various players who participated in the survey. It helped form new and/or confirm existing strategies on how to approach the upcoming months and years. It was interesting to read how we, as an industry, view upcoming developments such as environmental movements, discontinuation of Libor, projected decrease of financing available by trade finance banks to small players, and consequently the need of small players to find alternative funding such as co-lending to be provided jointly by banks and big players.”

“For any bank client feedback is the most important feedback, and benchmarking this against competition provides valuable context. At Rabo we use the report annually in order to improve our services to clients. Other banks stepping up, means that we have to improve our game. We should always stay on our toes, in a process of continuous improvement, and the TXF survey helps us in these effort. Getting this feedback is really of great value, especially during the 2021 commodity markets.”
