Foundations of Structured Trade Finance 2nd ed

Structured trade finance (STF) is a highly specialised 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 need for more 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 professional who has played an important role in the evolution of STF, this book:

• Addresses the philosophical foundations and risks associated with structured trade finance
• Addresses the philosophical foundations and risks associated with structured trade finance
• Provides step-by-step guidance on how deals can be structured
• Outlines the scope of coverage outside the confines of commodities, and
• Examines real life case studies and draws out lessons to be learned
