Awards for Excellence 2010

We are delighted to announce that for the third year running the Group's structured trade and commodity finance boutique, Trade Finance Corporation Limited has been awarded "Best Trade Finance Boutique in Asia" by Euromoney publication “Trade Finance” in their “Awards for Excellence".

The announcement is below.

Not only it is the third year in a row but it is the fifth award in seven years from Euromoney's Trade Finance.

Last year there was also a major shift in the business of Trade Finance Corporation as China became a net import market and the Company's core pre-exporting finance emphasis was taken into new markets such as Cambodia and Philippines.

This was a readers poll so we would like to thank our banking friends and clients for their votes.
