LONDON, 7 July 2020. Trade Finance Global (TFG) and The London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF) today announce the 2020 winners for the International Trade Professionals Programme (ITPP).
The ITPP gave international trade professionals the chance to write for TFG’s publications. The top 10 writers of the year’s cohort will be enrolled onto a trade finance course, certified by LIBF.
In its first year running, participants worked closely with TFG’s editorial team to plan, scope and produce a journalistic piece of content on a pre-agreed topic within international trade and finance. Top articles are scheduled to be published in TFG’s flagship publication, ‘Trade Finance Talks’, launching next week.
The top 10 winners will also receive access to one of the six trade and transaction banking courses provided by LIBF, including all the study materials, the examination and certification.
Both the panel at TFG and LIBF faced an incredibly difficult challenge, choosing the 10 candidates who will have access to an LIBF course, given the high calibre of this cohort. The articles were independently assessed by a panel of judges from LIBF and TFG.
