About the Trade Finance Program
ADB's Trade Finance Program fills market gaps for trade finance by providing guarantees and loans to banks to support trade. This fact sheet presents the highlights of the program for 2017.
Backed by its AAA credit rating, ADB’s TFP works with over 240 partner banks to provide companies with the financial support they need to engage in import and export activities in Asia’s most challenging markets.
