About the event

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) plays a crucial role in enabling global trade by optimising cash flow, reducing financial risks, reducing the cost of capital and improving liquidity for businesses involved in international transactions. Faster transactions enable businesses to respond to demand fluctuations quickly and helps buyers and suppliers manage working capital efficiently, ensuring smoother trade flows.

This half-day conference is an opportunity to understand the benefits of the UNIDROIT Model Law on Factoring and the UNCITRAL/UNIDROIT Model Law on Warehouse Receipts and how these new legal frameworks can help businesses access safe, secure, cheap finance to drive growth and productivity. Led by the ICC United Kingdom, in partnership with UNIDROIT.

Preceding the EBRD Anaaul General Meeting, this event is aimed at international supply chain finance experts, policy makers, regulators, corporate finance and treasury teams, academics and solution providers.
