Born again forfaiting 01 April 2005

Forfaiting was invented as a means whereby exporters could offer credit to their importers and sell the debt receivables to a bank on non-recourse terms. With the improvement of economies in many emerging markets, importers can now often obtain local finance more cheaply, with the result that forfaiters are now looking for new sources of business. The growing need of corporates to boost liquidity by selling off their receivables provides one promising source. The dramatic rise of China as a major trading nation suggests another tempting avenue to explore. Michael Rowe investigates.

Poll

Will Russia’s recent ban on grain exports result in a significant rise in private risk insurance claims from grain traders unable to fulfil their contracts?

Yes – there will be more claims. The government’s actions allow traders, with PRI cover, to make claims through contract frustration.

No - the majority of Russia’s wheat production, some 70%-80%, is used for domestic consumption so the contracts represent only a small portion of the total wheat market, limiting the amount of potential claims.

23%

No - traders had a week’s notice before the ban allowing them to secure alternative supplies to fulfil contracts stated as optional origin.

23%

Maybe - but claims are likely to be limited to traders dealing in soft wheat whose contracts demand they source wheat only from Russia.
