This year the EBRD’s TFP Trade Finance Forum will take place in Tbilisi on 18-19 October 2018, following the ICC Banking Commission Technical Meeting, on 15-17 October 2018.

As in previous years, the aim of the Forum is to discuss key challenges and new opportunities in trade finance in the EBRD’s countries of operations and beyond and to provide an excellent networking opportunity. We expect about 250 participants from our network of issuing banks, confirming banks and co-financing partners under the TFP, trade finance associations and providers of trade finance services to attend.
