Digital adoption in global trade is accelerating, and the industry is now confronting the three forces that determine whether new technology takes hold inside large organisations: compliance, speed to market and implementation. These pressures are reshaping how banks, corporates and logistics firms design the architecture that will carry the next era of digital trade. To explore how these elements operate in practice, Trade Treasury Payments’ (TTP) Trade and Technology Editor spoke with Przem...
With the next TF COP meeting approaching in London, the trade finance community is again being asked to confront the structural forces behind the persistent $2.5 trillion financing gap. Closing it will require not only capital but a redesigned architecture capable of supporting SMEs in the markets where access remains most constrained. To understand why the gap endures and what practical steps must follow, Trade Treasury Payments’ (TTP) Trade and Technology Editor Carter Hoffman spoke with M...
With COP 30 underway in Belém, governments, development institutions, and investors are now being asked to turn national climate targets into real and deployable investment plans.

To learn more about what needs to happen to meet global climate and development targets, Trade Treasury Payments’ (TTP) Trade and Technology Editor Carter Hoffman spoke with UNDP...
The trade finance gap stands at around $2.5 trillion, according to the most recent biennial survey by the Asian Development Bank.

Amid four packed days at Sibos 2025 in Frankfurt, experts from across the transaction banking space came together to discuss (among many other topics from a long agenda) how to make cross-border payments better. Today, trillions of dollars move across borders each day and global commerce has become more digital than ever, which means that implementation is becoming a central priority. In the final hours of the conference, Trade Treasury Payments (TTP) made time to sit down with Deepa Si...
Economist Rebecca Harding’s new book The World at Economic War argues that globalisation has failed to deliver balanced prosperity — and that Western nations must treat economics as a matter of national security. From F-35 supply chain fragility to BRICS’ de-dollarisation push, Harding calls for new ministries of economic war, NATO-level economic coordination, and a shift from complacency to preparedness.
Today, the global economy is surrounded by geopolitical uncertainty and shifting trade patterns. In this, UK Export Finance (UKEF) stands as a critical pillar supporting British exporters as they venture into global markets. UKEF primarily provides guarantees to financial institutions, enabling them to lend to businesses involved in international trade and export. In March 2025, the UK government announced a decision to increase UKEF's capacity by a third to £80 billion, signalling its commit...
