Third TFFP Product Launched

A third product called the Risk Participation Agreement (RPA) was launched under the TFFP in 2007. This product is similar to the Credit Guarantee product in that it shares risks with the private sector in support of trade. It differs from the CG in its structure, which is designed to facilitate the rapid expansion of the TFFP into new markets through a closer partnership with international banks. The RPA provides its partners with a new and efficient vehicle for trade portfolio management in less-developed markets.
