For the past few years, the continental trade finance institution has placed strong focus on making factoring a strategic priority and on turning it into a driving force for African trade. Afreximbank, which was established in 1993, promotes factoring as an alternative instrument to traditional commercial loans in the support and financing of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As such, it has spared no effort in working to ensure that factoring not only gains root in the continent but that it is able to thrive despite the many challenges. The Bank has anchored its support on an approach that exposes African factors to the international factoring market and that influences the creation of a favourable environment for factoring in Africa. | | Copyright Holder | Afreximbank | | Copyright URL | http://www.afreximbank.com | | Filesize | 1234509 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
