Trade Finance in Africa - Case study by Banque Centrale Populaire Morocco
Trade Finance in Africa is vital for supporting international trade activities but faces significant challenges. Commercial banks play a key role in bridging the finance gap by offering products for International Financial institutions allowing them to mitigate the African Risk. Additionally, to address these challenges, Banque Centrale Populaire has stepped in by offering a range of products to support the trade activity of its subsiduaries in Sub Saharan Africa. These initiatives help local banks extend trade finance services to corporate and medium and small businesses which form the backbone of many economies in the region.
