Credit risk is a critical consideration in trade finance, but it’s not the only risk that needs to be managed. For example, currency risk, political risk, and operational risk can all have a significant impact on trade transactions. When evaluating credit risk in trade finance, it’s important to ask questions like: What factors contribute to credit risk in trade finance? How can I evaluate the creditworthiness of my trading partner? What tools and strategies are available to mitigate credit risk? Are there other risks that I should be aware of when engaging in trade transactions? By exploring these questions and others, you can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of credit risk in trade finance and make more informed decisions when engaging in trade transactions. What other risks do you consider when engaging in trade finance, and how do you manage them?
