trade, really ?

Trade is emphatically a commercial activity, whether it takes
place bilaterally between one importer and one exporter, or in
the context of complex global supply chains. Likewise, whether
it evolves in a multilateral policy and trade agreements
context, or in an environment marked by a series of bilateral
trade agreements and regional or national levels

Trade is also, however, such a far-reaching commercial
activity with a history that links closely to the story of
human evolution, that it is a uniquely powerful lever
of public and international policy, with the potential to
materially impact economic conditions, standards of
living and degrees of economic inclusiveness around
the globe.
Trade rarely takes place safely and successfully
without some form of enabling trade financing,
broadly defined to cover traditional mechanisms,
Supply Chain Finance, as well as a range of proven risk
mitigation techniques.
