Financial Markets

IFC welcomed 200 representatives of the global trade and supply chain finance industry to its Washington, D.C. headquarters on the eve of the U.S. Export-Import Bank's annual meeting. Participants took advantage of the half-day seminar to network and to learn more about IFC's latest product initiatives, including the Global Warehouse Finance Program and the Critical Commodities Finance Program.

Thanks to all of the presenters and attendees who made the seminar a success.
