Why you should have attended

Digitalization transforms businesses, reduces costs, automates processes, and brings down the reliance on manpower. In the financial industry sector, it helps reduce the high risk traditionally associated with financing small businesses, through technologies such as real-time data collection and machine learning. 

In partnership with the National Bank of Cambodia, the SME Finance Forum is hosting the 9th Global SME Finance Forum. This year’s event will focus on the power of digital transformation in promoting inclusive, sustainable, and responsible finance for MSMEs, the backbone of the world’s economies. 

Taking place on September 19-21 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, the three-day conference will explore how digitalization can promote and accelerate green finance, enhance supply-chain efficiencies, improve data security, automate processes, while also lead to a greater financial inclusion.  

 Join us on site to connect with an international network of SME finance experts and practitioners to share and learn from each other’s experience in SME financing in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis.

Trade Finance and Financial Integrity: Countering Trade-Based Money Laundering

Meeting Suite 7, 2nd Level

As global trade and trade finance have grown in recent decades, so too has trade-related crime. Trade-based money laundering (TBML) is an increasingly significant way in which global trade is misused to launder proceeds of crime. Financial institutions engaged in trade finance need to be vigilant and ensure to implement TBML-specific control frameworks to protect their business from potential regulatory scrutiny and loss of correspondent bank relationships. This session will provide an overview of IFC’s trade finance products with emphasis on supply chain finance and a primer of TBML related risks and controls based on international standards, including as defined by FATF and Wolfsberg Group.
