The trade finance industry is at a unique juncture. Growth is driven by advancements in data, artificial intelligence (AI), and global client engagement – at an exciting pace.

To discuss this further, Deepesh Patel, Editorial Director at Trade Finance Global, spoke to Marilyn Blattner-Hoyle, Global Head of Trade Finance, Trade Credit & Working Capital Solutions at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, at ITFA’s 50th annual conference in Cyprus.

Blattner-Hoyle shared that Swiss Re’s “purpose” is to “make the world more resilient.” A large part of this mission begins with initiation.
