The supply chain finance industry is evolving rapidly, driven by factors such as trade policy uncertainties and the need for Supply Chain Finance (SCF) solutions in a changing trade landscape. Efforts are underway to support SMEs through SCF, simplify processes, and increase awareness. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are gaining importance, with stakeholders agreeing on sustainability KPIs. Regulatory challenges, digitisation of international trade, technological innovations like AI and cloud technology, and collaborative approaches are shaping the industry’s future, indicating a dynamic and transformative landscape.

The BCR will hold its Annual Supply Chain Finance Summit on January 29th and 30th of 2025, in Cecabank, Madrid.

Qamar Saleem, SME Finance Forum Global Head, will be speaking (virtually) on January 29th about:

Understanding supply chain dynamics – knowing what keeps your clients awake at night.

• Overstocking and understocking, just-in-time to just in case – how can buyers ensure their suppliers have the right inventory strategy?
• We have seen the effects of semiconductor availability disruption. What are the sectors that are now troubling supply chains the most and what can SCF practitioners do to help?
• Managing geopolitical disruptive links in the supply chain – slowbalisation and the retreat from free trade and low trade policies and how tariffs are putting up barriers.
• Herbivores and carnivores – examining the multibank sector and its growing evolution
