Supply Chain Finance (SCF) is an effective solution to extend access to finance to small businesses by developing a technology-driven low-risk product aimed to channel liquidity to the strategically important value chains. Automated supply chain finance programs enable FIs to better assess, measure and manage risks of extending finance to SMEs thorough the transparency of the full value chain, and visibility of the commercial and financial relationships among the parties. In addition, credit and payment risk is decreased by shifting the focus from FI-SME relationship to a tri-party FI-anchor-SME relationship, hence leveraging the trade and payment between larger anchor and SME supplier / distributor. Supply Chain Finance has a strong potential to close the finance gap in developing countries, which per IFC estimates can reach up to ~20% of the total finance gap, i.e. over $1 trillion.
To extend awareness and increase knowledge about SCF in the countries of its operations, the International Finance Corporation, together with the SME Finance Forum, is organizing a training series, covering major areas important for building successful SCF programs for financial institutions, for six weeks on Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. EST.
This is a regional event for Middle East and Africa members and IFC clients. Participants who attend the 6-week program will be issued a “certificate of attendance”. Read about the program here.
Session 3. Legal and Regulatory Considerations for SCF
Supply Chain Finance (SCF) ecosystem consists of various elements which are necessary for the development and implementation of SCF offerings and their sustainability. Among most critical elements of this ecosystem are legal and regulatory underpinnings which are often viewed as condition precedent for the viability of SCF products. On March 9th, the session will focus on the review of the international legal best practices and standards that impact SCF products and the extent to which such standards, when imbedded in the national legislation, can facilitate Supply Chain Finance. The session will also offer a review of various SCF products and the critical legal and regulatory pre-conditions that impact these products. The session will further provide examples and describe experiences of developing SCF products in various countries with the emphasis on various techniques for mitigating legal and regulatory gaps.
