NEW YORK, January 20, 2016 – Global Finance magazine has named the 16th annual World’s Best Trade Finance Providers in 9 regions, 84 countries and globally, in an exclusive survey to be published in the February 2016 issue. The honorees were revealed at an awards luncheon at the BAFT Global Annual Meeting in Paris today.
Back to Awards Coverage
The editorial review board of Global Finance selected the best trade finance providers based on input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology experts. In addition, a poll of Global Finance’s readership was conducted in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of the results. Criteria for choosing the winners included: transaction volume, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing and innovative technologies.
“As global markets digest slowly improving economic conditions in the US, counterbalanced by the economic slowdown in China and the evolving role of the Chinese consumer, trade dynamics are changing,” said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance.
“In addition, both trade finance providers and the corporates who use their services are trying to understand how big developments on the regulatory and policy front-including the addition of the Chinese yuan to the IMF’s basket of SDR currencies-will affect their business. Corporates need trade finance partners who can help them adjust nimbly to those changes. With these awards, we aim to identify those partners.”
