Trade Finance Materials
Here you will find a number of free materials relating to IIBLP's work in trade finance and financial crime compliance . Since much of our work deals with commercial LCs, standby LCs, demand guarantees, and trade based financial crime compliance, much of what you'll find below relates to these topics. If you attended an IIBLP trade finance event and are looking for a specific presentation, start here. If you came from Documentary Credit World to see recently decided LC and guarantee cases, scroll down. Also, remember to visit the IIBLP Shop for a number of key publications, as well as to register for future events.
