Europe: Working Capital Finance in a Post-COVID World

The Center for Financial Professionals (CeFPro), in partnership with Finastra, undertook an extensive research project with the objective of reviewing working capital finance in a post-Covid world, including how trade and working capital finance have transformed to achieve customer excellence. As part of the research, the survey looked to explore advances in trade finance, with a focus on:

• progress towards end-to-end digitization across financial services and uses of digital solutions;
• how business models are changing with the introduction of digitalization and automation techniques;
• and the impact of Covid-19 on business models and the acceleration of digital platforms.
