Overview

Structured trade finance (STF) is a highly specialized area of trade finance that has evolved directly from practice. As it grows and becomes more complex in an increasingly risk-based regulatory environment, there is a pressing need for detailed guidance on the subject. Now in its second edition, Foundations of Structured Trade Finance provides exactly this. Written by Dr Benedict O. Oramah, president of Afreximbank and a key figure in the evolution of STF, this book delves into the philosophical foundations and risks associated with structured trade finance. It offers step-by-step guidance on structuring deals, explores the scope of coverage beyond commodities, and examines real-life case studies to draw valuable lessons. The new edition has been revised and updated, featuring brand new sections on reserve-based lending, supply chain finance, and new technologies for implementing structured trade finance.
