ITC’s Business Navigator on e-Finance
The Business Navigator on e-Finance is a practical tool to assist individual entrepreneurs, SME exporters, bankers and all those involved in trade development to better “navigate” in the unknown area of e-finance for trade. It will be made available in conventional hard copy format or CD-Rom.
In order to keep up with the development in ICT’s application in the trade finance field and to properly respond to the needs expressed by ITC’s beneficiaries, it is proposed to carry out a critical analysis, comparing the most relevant e-finance experiences both in selected developing and developed countries.
Moreover, the analysis will
identify and describe best e-finance practices and tools currently in use
for export finance. The navigator will also be helpful to identify the
areas for ITC’s eventual technical co-operation in e-finance sector,
particularly with the focus on capacity building in the area of e-trade
finance.
This request is the follow-up to ITC contribution to the Geneva phase
(December 2003) of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and
e@ITC initiative. It will also showcase best practices in the area of
e-finance at the Tunis phase of WSIS in April 2005.
