Risk management as per Mitsui & Co.: A lack of information relating to country risk or the creditworthiness of business partners can be an impediment to doing business. We undertake pre-assessment of business risks, devise methods for managing or mitigating risks we have identified, and based on this provide customers with tailored solutions. We have a particularly important role to play in determining and managing the creditworthiness of business partners, so that our customers can conduct their business with financial peace of mind.

Brazil - Petrobras Canada - Export Development Canada France - OSEO Germany - KfW Bankengruppe UK - UK Export Finance LIBOR benchmark review
General level of understanding of SCF solutions is low Willingness to be collaborative across the supply chain In-house operations, finance, and procurement need to be integrated as a strategy Loss of autonomy by individual managers Sharing of information seems counter intuitive Requires consistency in technology Requires training
Major retailers bypassing middle man Supply chain strategy revisions Identifying financial and technology partners Integration of supply chain, finance, IT, operations, and suppliers Crowdfunding - approved in UK/pending in USA - not allowed in Canada
