About IFC’s Global Trade Finance Program 1 About IFC’s Global Trade Finance Program The Global Trade Finance Program (GTFP) is IFC’s flagship trade finance program, having provided over 188,000 firms with $120 billion of trade finance over the last 20 years. Confirming Banks The GTFP extends and complements the capacity of confirming banks to deliver trade financing by providing risk mitigation in new or challenging markets where trade lines may be constrained. GTFP offers confirming banks partial or full guarantees to cover payment risk on banks in the emerging markets. These guarantees are transaction-specific and apply to letters of credit, traderelated promissory notes and bills of exchange, bid and performance bonds, advance payment guarantees, and supplier credits for the import of capital goods. Issuing Banks The GTFP enables local financial institutions in emerging markets to broaden their access to finance and reduce cash collateral requirements by partnering with major international banks. By facilitating this access to a global network of confirming banks, the GTFP bolsters the flow of trade credit into the local markets, thereby supporting the import of critical goods, helping small businesses grow and create jobs, and generating much-needed foreign exchange via exports. 1.1. What Are the Benefits of the Global Trade Finance Program?

IFC Guarantee Application & Issuance Prior to making an official Application for the Issue of an IFC Guarantee, banks are encouraged to discuss transactions with limit availability, pricing, tenor, deal structure with the GTFP team by phone or email. If IFC agrees to cover the transaction, Issuing Bank (IB) sends the eligible instrument to the Confirming Bank (CB). IB and CB agree between themselves which bank is sending an official guarantee request to IFC using the format presented in Annex 2A of the Issuing/Confirming Bank Agreement. You may find GTFP partner Confirming and Issuing Banks List: ↗ https://www.ifc.org/en/what-we-do/sector-expertise/trade-and-supply-chain-finance/global-trade-finance-program9 Global Trade Finance Program All guarantee applications must conform with Annex 2A, and all fields must be filled in properly. All the terms in the application should be in line with the underlying transaction terms. The bank sending the application must also provide the following information:

I. Indication if partial shipment/partial drawing is allowed (Annex 2A Field XI)

II. Full name and address of the applicant and the beneficiary (Annex 2A Field VIII and IX)

III. Correct payment terms (if the payment condition of the underlying transaction is deferred payment and the maturity date is certain days after shipment date, then the application must state the related shipment or latest shipment date) (Annex 2A Field VII)

IV. Export or import of goods or services out of or in to the country of incorporation of the Issuing Bank (country name) (Annex 2A Field XII 3A)

V. Tolerance percentage and/or requested amount (Annex 2A Field IV)

IV. Export or import of goods or services out of or in to the country of incorporation of the Issuing Bank (country name) (Annex 2A Field XII 3A)

V. Tolerance percentage and/or requested amount (Annex 2A Field IV) Requested IFC coverage percentage (Annex 2A Field XII 2)

VI. Fee paying party should be added to the end of the guarantee application as below; ‘Please charge the Guarantee Fee relating to this Guarantee Application to the Confirming Bank or

Issuing Bank’

VII. If the application is for more than one underlying transaction, please send details in our Excel template (please see Annex 3) to IFC trade finance officers, copying the

gtfpistops@ifc.org team in advance

VIII. For the multiple underlying transactions, instead of indicating all details of importers, exporters, goods and shipment in the application request, the issuing or confirming bank may refer to the shared Excel file in the appication request. The fields of applicant (Annex 2A Field VIII), beneficiary (Annex 2A Field IX), the description of goods (Annex 2A Field X), and the shipment from

(Annex 2A Field XI), should be read as “VARIOUS AS PER EMAIL DATED [PROVIDE DATE] SENT TO

[PROVIDE EMAIL ADDRESS]”10

Procedures for Issuance of an IFC Guarantee If IB sends application request as Annex 2A, IFC will proceed to issue its guarantee. If CB sends application request to IFC, IFC will seek consent from the IB to guarantee the transaction and will issue its guarantee only after receipt of such consent. Consent messages must be in the same format as Annex 2B. It is advisable for the CB to discuss consent with the IB prior to submitting an official application. Issuing Banks must include the transaction reference, the amount, expiry, latest shipment dates, etc. of the underlying transaction in their consent message so that the correspondent application request can be located. Issuing Bank or Confirming Bank must email the

prior to submitting an official application. Issuing Banks must include the transaction reference, the amount, expiry, latest shipment dates, etc. of the underlying transaction in their consent message so that the correspondent application request can be located. Issuing Bank or Confirming Bank must email the underlying document (scanned copy of the PN, L/C, Bill of Exchange, etc.) to gtfpistops@ifc.org, along with the application request SWIFTs to help ensure issuance of the guarantee on correct terms and in a timely manner. Silent confirmations are not permitted. If the CB does not add its confirmation to the underlying transaction, it must inform both the IB and IFC without delay. Applications can be sent in SWIFT MT7XX format either by SWIFT MT760, MT799 or MT798 (Trade Envelope Message) in one page. Partner banks must establish RMA with bin order to send and receive authenticated SWIFT messages. Applications sent by different message types, other than the ones mentioned above, may cause delays of processing. Banks (IB or CB) shall use the “expand free text field (field 79) function” of MT799, or MT798 (Trade Envelope Message), for applications containing long texts. IFC will issue a guarantee in favor of the CB in accordance with the conditions stated in the application. Please note that IFC does not list the documents to be presented under the eligible instrument in its guarantee. However, all required documents should be listed in the application. IFC takes the risk of IB’s under GTFP. This includes the commercial risk of the IB and the political risk of the country. Response Time The GTFP team is committed to a fast response time. An IFC guarantee or amendment is typically issued within 24 hours of receipt of a complete request. The GTFP operations center is based in Istanbul, Turkey. Daily cut-off time for GTFP operations is 15:30 (GMT+2:00). Application and amendment requests received after this

IFC guarantee or amendment is typically issued within 24 hours of receipt of a complete request. The GTFP operations center is based in Istanbul, Turkey. Daily cut-off time for GTFP operations is 15:30 (GMT+2:00). Application and amendment requests received after this time will be processed on the following business day. GTFP Operations are subject to official holiday closures in Turkey. Exporter’s Bank Importer’s Bank11 Global Trade Finance Program 2.2. Amendments to Eligible Instruments IBs or CBs should send an amendment request via SWIFT to IFC for a material amendment before amending the eligible instrument. IFC will always ask the CB or IB to confirm its consent to an amendment via SWIFT for material amendments as stated below. Upon receipt of consent via SWIFT, IFC will issue the amendment to IFC Guarantee via SWIFT.

Material Amendments Include: a. An extension of the expiry date

b. A change in the nature of the underlying goods c. A change in the applicant, beneficiary, or currency d. A change of terms of acceptance or payment e. An increase or decrease in the amount of the eligible instrument and/or the percentage IFC covers Material amendment consent should be provided as

follows: “WE REFER TO YOUR MT799 DATED [DATE]- WE

HEREBY PROVIDE OUR CONSENT TO AMEND FIELD [ADD FIELD].” If a transaction is partially settled or has a reducing balance, the outstanding amount of the IFC guarantee will be reduced and the fee calculation will be made after the receipt of the amendment message. For this purpose, CBs are requested to send their confirmation SWIFT message when they receive payment under the eligible transaction so that IFC guarantee fees can be charged for the remaining number of outstanding days. Requests for GTFP amendments for increases, decreases, and releases must be sent via MT769 SWIFT message. Amendments which result in an increase in the IFC guarantee amount and/or extension in tenor may be subject to an increased charge. Please consult IFC trade

days. Requests for GTFP amendments for increases, decreases, and releases must be sent via MT769 SWIFT message. Amendments which result in an increase in the IFC guarantee amount and/or extension in tenor may be subject to an increased charge. Please consult IFC trade officers before sending such amendment requests.12 Procedures for Issuance of an IFC Guarantee 2.3. Cancellations of IFC Guarantees If a transaction is settled before maturity date, IFC will cancel its guarantee immediately upon receipt of consent from CB. GTFP Operations processes cancellation requests according to the payment date stated in the cancellation request message. This can be up to five business days earlier than the SWIFT message date. If there is no payment date stated on the CB’s authenticated MT769 or MT799 cancellation SWIFT message, the IFC guarantee will be cancelled on the date of receipt of the cancellation SWIFT message. Cancelling the transaction, even if the settlement of the transaction is close to its expiration date, is worthwhile to avoid paying the fee for IFC’s 15-day buffer period. Information messages for the future payment dates will not be considered as cancellation/ reduction messages; therefore, CBs should send their cancellation/reduction messages only once they receive payment. There is no specific format for cancellation requests. The CB or IB may simply send an MT799 message stating that they have paid their obligations on [date] under the eligible transaction and request cancellation. IFC guarantees will be closed on their respective expiration dates, unless prior cancellation request has been received from the CB.13 Global Trade Finance Program Photo © Dominic Chavez/World Bank14 Fee Calculations and Procedures for Billing of IFC Guarantee 3 Fee Calculations and Procedures for Billing of IFC Guarantee 3.1.

3 Fee Calculations and Procedures for Billing of IFC Guarantee 3.1. Guarantee Fee Calculation Fees are quoted on a case-by-case basis prior to the issuance of an IFC guarantee. Fees are quoted in percentage points per annum and are charged on the actual number of outstanding days of the IFC guarantee, not on a flat quarterly basis, which is common practice for most commercial banks. Please note that IFC adds a buffer period of 15 days to every transaction when issuing its guarantee. IFC guarantee fees are calculated from the date of issuance of the guarantee up to and including the date of expiration/date of cancellation. IFC guarantee fee calculation example: If an L/C gets established for 120 days, IFC’s guarantee would be issued for 135 days (120 + a buffer period of 15 days). The fee calculation would be as follows: 135/360 days x the fee x the amount of the guarantee If the guarantee gets cancelled early, for example after 105 days, the charge would be calculated on 105 days instead of 135 days. GTFP fee levels are intended to be market driven. CBs that receive GTFP guarantees in cover of transactions should be expected to reduce their direct charges to IBs to levels that reflect IFC’s AAA credit risk rating, while taking their operating costs into account.15 Global Trade Finance Program 3.2. Fee Charging Procedures Fees are usually charged to the bank sending the official guarantee application to IFC (the Originating Bank) unless it is agreed otherwise at the beginning of the transaction. However, IFC will permit the Originating Bank to request the fee to be charged to the other bank, should this be necessary. It can be stated at the end of the guarantee application with the following phrase: “Please charge the Guarantee Fee relating to this Guarantee Application to the Confirming Bank (or Issuing Bank).” If the non-originating bank does not agree to pay the fee, the fee will be charged to the Originating Bank in

application with the following phrase: “Please charge the Guarantee Fee relating to this Guarantee Application to the Confirming Bank (or Issuing Bank).” If the non-originating bank does not agree to pay the fee, the fee will be charged to the Originating Bank in accordance with the Issuing Bank Agreement or Terms and Conditions for CBs. Fees for each guarantee are only advised to the paying bank via SWIFT at the time of issuance of the guarantee. As mentioned above, total fees can be changed subject to amendments. Therefore, the fee calculations initially advised are for information only. No payment is required at the time of the issuance of IFC guarantees as all IFC guarantee fees are billed in arrears. Charging in arrears enables the banks to charge their customer before being charged by IFC. It also allows for reduced fees through early cancellation and partial release. IFC will invoice the fee-paying bank on a quarterly basis on: January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31. Fees will be calculated for every guarantee for the exact number of days that the guarantee remained outstanding during that quarter. For example, guarantee fees due on a guarantee issued for a period of one year will, in the normal course, be billed for payment over four consecutive quarters. • There is no minimum fee under GTFP. • Do not remit any payments prior to receiving an invoice from IFC. • Remit invoice amount with one single payment – no partial payments. Invoices will be sent by M799 SWIFT messages. • Send payment confirmation by swift or copy of the payment message by e-mail. • Contact: CNT-GTFP@ifc.org and gtfpistops@ifc.org for any invoice discrepancies. For Confirming Banks If the CB is the paying party, the CB will receive separate invoices for each IB. Recap for Billing • CBs will receive a quarterly statement, detailing all fees payable, broken down by transaction.

any invoice discrepancies. For Confirming Banks If the CB is the paying party, the CB will receive separate invoices for each IB. Recap for Billing • CBs will receive a quarterly statement, detailing all fees payable, broken down by transaction. • Fee calculations include the date of issuance of the IFC guarantee and the date of expiration/date of cancellation (both days inclusive). • The last day is included because a claim may be made until 12.00 pm EST (Washington DC time) on the last day. • The 15-day buffer period is also included.16 Fee Calculations and Procedures for Billing of IFC Guarantee When making a payment(s) please: ▶ Remit to the appropriate bank (according to currency) as per the instructions provided in the cover page of the bill. ▶ Always quote the ‘Payment Reference No.’ indicated in the invoice when remitting payment ▶ Make remittance(s) in a single amount by currency in payment of the total amount billed. ▶ Ensure that bank charges are not deducted from your remittance. ▶ Ensure that payment is formatted as an MT202 (Bank-To-Bank Payment) SWIFT Message ▶ Pay the bill in its entirety - do not make partial payments. Sample 1 For an L/C established for 120 days, IFC’s guarantee would be issued for 135 days (120 + the additional 15 days) The fee would be 135 days divided by 360 days x the fee x the amount of the guarantee. If the guarantee is cancelled early, for example after 105 days, the charge would be: 105/360 days x fee x amount. Amendments which result in an increase in the IFC guarantee amount and/or extension in tenor are subject to increased charges at the agreed % pa. If an L/C has a ±10% margin, GTFP guarantee will be issued for 110% of the L/C amount. 3.3. GTFP Fee Calculation Examples17 Global Trade Finance Program Sample 2
