Transparency trumps demand concerns for supply-chain finance

Most leading providers of trade finance have welcomed changes to disclosure rules despite research suggesting they could negatively impact demand.

Demica’s 2023 benchmark report for banks in trade finance shows that 92% of respondents working in payables teams don’t expect the new accounting disclosure rules to change the nature of the payables finance products they offer, with just 5% saying that changes to the requirements were presenting big challenges when setting up payables transactions.
