Yerevan/Mediamax/. On June 7-11, about 100 representatives of Armenian bans and companies participated in seminars on trade finance, organized by International Finance Corporation, given assistance of the government of Sweden.

As Mediamax was informed in Yerevan office of IFC, the goal of the seminars was to improve the knowledge of bankers and companies, involved in international trade, on trade finance products and operations, enabling local banks to provide better solutions for their importing and exporting customers.

With this initiative, IFC is investing in trade finance capacity in Armenia by helping develop skills and expertise for the delivery of trade finance services at local banks,” said Mark Rozanski, IFC Trade Finance Regional Head for Europe.
