Trade Finance Seminar - ATFS (2025)

Overview

Afreximbank introduced the Afreximbank Trade Finance Seminar (ATFS) in 1999 as a way of contributing to capacity building of its stakeholders through adequate knowledge of international trade, trade finance and trade-related project finance issues. The event was previously offered as either, the Fundamentals of Structured Trade Finance, or Advanced Structured Trade Finance. Since commencement, the Seminar has consistently been delivered every single year with a growing number of participants that have included African bankers and officers from non-bank financial institutions as well as executives from corporate entities

who are actively involved in the promotion and financing of African trade and trade-related projects. The popularity of the event has increased with immense interest particularly from Financial Institutions.

Objectives

The Afreximbank Trade Finance Seminar (ATFS) series and Workshops provide participants with the technical skills and knowledge necessary for operating effectively in the challenging global and African trade environments as well as trade-related project finance areas with a view to enabling them to structure viable deals. The programme is also intended to strengthen Afreximbank’s relationship with its different clients and partner institutions. To this end, the Bank works with different partners to deliver the Afreximbank Trade Finance Seminar and Workshops.
