What trade finance covers
Trade finance bridges the cash-flow gap between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers. Instruments include Letters of Credit (guaranteeing payment to overseas suppliers), Trust Receipts (short-term financing against imported goods), and invoice discounting. Government-backed facilities are available under Enterprise Singapore's EFS Trade Loan, up to S$10 million.
