Comments
  • All the support measures for trade, while good, lack the benefits (price discovery, price transparency, price stability, market liquidity - while reducing capital requirements and operational costs, that an electronic exchange for interbank trading of trade finance risk assets portfolios would bring to the market. Has the editorial team got any views on this idea which I am researching for my DBA thesis.
