Topic:
Trade Expertise and Insights - URDG and country specific observation in international guarantee”
Outline：
Global trade activities are not merely pure economic and trade operations; they have become increasingly complex amid the evolving geopolitical landscape. Every company in China engaged in trade, including Germany-based foreign companies and MNCs, have inevitably been impacted. In an era that demands for rebuilding the trade order, we face significant uncertainties in overseas trades. In today`s presentation, we will share typical cases of cross-border Bank Guarantee and Export Letter of Credit. By sharing these cases, we aim to understand how conventional trade instruments can help companies navigate today’s uncertain market climate – mitigating risks such as country risk, issuing bank’s insolvency risk, payment risks, documentation risk and malicious payment refusals…etc.

Now, all of this can be achieved within a compliant and legal framework.
