There are four main types of trade financing.
a. Cash in advance (prepayment),
b. Documentary Credit or Letters of Credit
c. Documentary Collection (e.g. documents against payment, documents
against acceptance), and
d. Open account
For each of the following countries, for both exports and imports, I
am looking for how trade was financed in 2003. The answer could be in
absolute dollar amounts or it could be in percentage terms that adds
up to 100%.
Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Kazakhstan, Iran, Korea, Philippines,
China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, UAE, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Bahrain,
Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Ghana, Tunisia
Example output would be (hypothetical statement) Korea finances 60% of
imports through L/Cs and 40% through Open account. Or that Korea had
USD12b of imports through L/Cs and USD8b on open account.
I want the information collated in the form of a table, as opposed to
say 200 links. Hope thats ok.
I hope this is clear, let me know if you have any questions.
