Financing International Trade 26 Lecture Financing International Trade

Chapter Objectives To describe the methods of payment for international trade; To explain common trade finance methods; and To describe the major agencies that facilitate international trade with export insurance and/or loan programs.

Trade Finance Methods Letters of Credit (L/C) The required documents typically include a draft (sight or time), a commercial invoice, and a bill of lading (receipt for shipment). Sometimes, the exporter may request that a local bank confirm (guarantee) the L/C.

Example of an Irrevocable Letter of Credit

Documentary Credit Procedure Buyer (Importer)  Sale Contract Seller (Exporter)  Deliver Goods  Request for Credit Importer’s Bank (Issuing Bank)  Documents & Claim for Payment  Present Documents  Deliver Letter of Credit  Present Documents  Send Credit Exporter’s Bank (Advising Bank)  Payment

Trade Finance Methods Letters of Credit (L/C) Variations include standby L/Cs : funded only if the buyer does not pay the seller as agreed upon transferable L/Cs : the first beneficiary can transfer all or part of the original L/C to a third party assignments of proceeds under an L/C : the original beneficiary assigns the proceeds to the end supplier

Trade Finance Methods Banker’s Acceptance (BA) This is a time draft that is drawn on and accepted by a bank (the importer’s bank). The accepting bank is obliged to pay the holder of the draft at maturity. If the exporter does not want to wait for payment, it can request that the BA be sold in the money market. Trade financing is provided by the holder of the BA.

Banker’s Acceptance

Trade Finance Methods Banker’s Acceptance (BA) The bank accepting the drafts charges an all-in-rate (interest rate) that consists of the discount rate plus the acceptance commission. In general, all-in-rates are lower than bank loan rates. They usually fall between the rates of short-term Treasury bills and commercial papers.

Life Cycle of a Typical Banker’s Acceptance 1. Purchase Order Importer Exporter 5. Ship Goods Importer’s Bank 2. Apply for L/C 11. Shipping Documents 6. Shipping Documents & Time Draft 4.

Trade Finance Methods Working Capital Financing Banks may provide short-term loans that finance the working capital cycle, from the purchase of inventory until the eventual conversion to cash.

Trade Finance Methods Medium-Term Capital Goods Financing (Forfaiting) The importer issues a promissory note to the exporter to pay for its imported capital goods over a period that generally ranges from three to seven years. The exporter then sells the note, without recourse, to a bank (the forfaiting bank).

Trade Finance Methods Countertrade These are foreign trade transactions in which the sale of goods to one country is linked to the purchase or exchange of goods from that same country. Common countertrade types include barter, compensation (product buy-back), and counterpurchase. The primary participants are governments and MNCs.

Agencies that Motivate International Trade Due to the inherent risks of international trade, government institutions and the private sector offer various forms of export credit, export finance, and guarantee programs to reduce risk and stimulate foreign trade.

Agencies that Motivate International Trade Export-Import Bank of the U.S. (Ex-Imbank) This U.S. government agency aims to create jobs by financing and facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services and maintaining the competitiveness of U.S. companies in overseas markets. It offers guarantees of commercial loans, direct loans, and export credit insurance.

Agencies that Motivate International Trade Private Export Funding Corporation (PEFCO) PEFCO is a private corporation that is owned by a consortium of commercial banks and industrial companies. In cooperation with Ex-Imbank, PEFCO provides medium- and long-term fixed-rate financing for foreign buyers through the issuance of long-term bonds.

Agencies that Motivate International Trade Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) OPIC is a U.S. government agency that assists U.S. investors by insuring their overseas investments against a broad range of political risks. It also provides financing for overseas businesses through loans and loan guaranties.
