1 Trade Finance Monitor International Monetary Fund / BAFT-IFSA 6th Annual Trade Finance Survey November 211
2 2 The 6th IMF/BAFT-IFSA Survey Key Findings and Observations International Monetary Fund November 211 In July the IMF and BAFT-IFSA initiated their sixth trade finance survey, administered by the IMF. 63 in advanced, emerging market, and developing countries participated in the survey (Table 1). 2 Value of trade finance: The demand for trade finance was strong particularly in emerging Asia (Figures 1 and 2), partly supported by strong demand for trade activities (Table 2). This is despite the slowdown in trade volumes observed since the spring (Figures 3 and 4). Pricing of trade finance: Interest rate spreads have risen especially since June, particularly in the Euro area (Figures 5 and 6), but remain below 28-9 trends. Trade finance spreads have reportedly risen for the second quarter of 211 relative to that of 21 (Figure 7 and Table 3). Anecdotal reports show that the trade finance spreads have continued to increase since July, but no more than those for other types of credit of similar maturity. Risk perception: Survey results show no change in risk perception at least till the second quarter of 211 (Figure 8). Nonetheless, some weak have large market shares in global trade finance and this has been a source of concerns especially since August (Table 4). Some European are reportedly trimming their balance sheets. But deleveraging does not appear focused disproportionately on trade finance. Moreover, concerns around tightening liquidity especially for dollars seem to be building. Practitioners are worried that short-term trade 1 The survey was launched in July 211, with responses collected until end October The respondents samples differ across surveys. The overall change in trade finance is computed as the weighted average of regional changes by activity level in respective regions.
3 3 finance could be a ready target for bank deleveraging as happened in late 28. While the reactivation of central bank swap lines in August by the ECB and the Swiss National Bank with the U.S. Federal Reserve seems to have helped ease some dollar-liquidity pressures, the evidence from some in October indicates that the finance has continued to tighten. Lending standards Survey results show that are tightening lending standards especially larger (Figure 9 and Table 5). Outlook Survey results also show the outlook for trade finance demand in the second half of 211 is less positive than for the first half, especially for advanced countries (Figure 1). Impact of the Basel III Survey results also show expect negative impact of Basel III on all trade finance products (Table 6) and the impact is considered larger than those on other bank products (Table 7). Banks are also anticipating changes to the trade finance portfolio (Figure 11). Official sector response Views on the official sector response continue to be largely positive. Some IFIs have indicated a readiness for immediate support, if circumstances warrant.
