An introduction to the tools and processes of this specialized area of international finance. Participants will assess the risks involved in international trade in a structured manner. They will then learn techniques to mitigate and/or transfer risk between the parties involved in these transactions. The differing roles and requirements of Importers, Exporters, Traders, Insurers, and Bankers will be explored and explained through a combination of presentations, exercises, and case studies. A practical approach will be taken with many real-life examples throughout the workshop.
