Webinar “Trade Digitisation And Regulatory Developments In India” – 05 September 2020

Technology has proven its value in trade finance operations since years however policy makers hold the key to maximise benefits from most recent technology solutions such as cloud computing, digital originals, electronic signature and distributed ledger technology. Two  ITFA Fintech Initiatives aim to promote use of (1) digital negotiable instruments (DNI Initiative) and (2) automated distribution practices (TFD Initiative).
 
Also, the ITFA Technology Experts for Regulatory Action (TERA) task force was set up in Q2 2020 to provide pragmatic technology-centric guidance to the ITFA member banks, and their policy makers, to assess the need for adapting trade-related policies so their local market benefits more from recent technologies.
