DP World Trade Finance crosses $1bn mark, targeting gaps in emerging markets

Image: DP World The milestone comes as the global trade finance gap continues to exceed $2.5tn, disproportionately affecting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies. The platform, which combines logistics and financial services, has partnered with more than 32 financial institutions globally, including J.P. Morgan, Standard Bank, and NedBank. Together with DP World's own lending operations, the model aims to increase access to affordable trade finance while reducing risk and improving the flow of goods in underfunded markets. 'By making capital more accessible, particularly in high-potential markets, we are shaping a trade system that is more inclusive and resilient,' said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, group chairman and CEO of DP World. 'The growth of our trade finance business underscores the UAE's role as a catalyst for global trade.' DP World Trade Finance: An integrated model DP World Trade Finance's integrated model offers both funding and real-time supply chain visibility, helping lenders make faster, data-informed credit decisions. The platform's performance has generated a loan book with higher-quality assets than industry benchmarks, according to the company. 'Cross-border trade is the engine of global economic growth, but access to affordable finance remains a critical barrier,' said Sinan Ozcan, Senior Executive Officer of DP World Trade Finance. 'Through our platform, we've built a network that connects businesses with capital and streamlines the financing process to enable more consistent global trade.' The platform has facilitated trade across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, serving industries including agriculture, metals, automotive, and engineering. Its success is part of a broader effort to ease structural constraints in global trade by improving financing options for businesses that struggle with collateral requirements or limited credit histories. DP World Trade Finance was launched to address persistent challenges faced by SMEs, many of whom are unable to secure loans from traditional institutions due to high perceived risk. The company's data-driven approach, combined with its operational reach, aims to provide a scalable solution to help close one of trade's most pressing gaps. Read:

DP World mobilises $1bln to boost trade flow

DP World Trade Finance has mobilised over US$1 billion in working capital for businesses across emerging markets, helping close the global trade finance gap and keep goods moving through some of the world's most challenging economic environments. This milestone was achieved through a combination of DP World's own lending operations and partnerships with more than 32 financial institutions globally, including J.P. Morgan, Standard Bank, NedBank and more. Their financing solutions, delivered alongside DP World's logistics capabilities, have helped reduce risk and improve access to capital for underserved businesses of all sizes, thus lowering barriers to international trade. By combining trade finance with logistics, DP World offers businesses both funding and real-time visibility into their supply chains. This integrated model helps lenders make faster, more informed decisions - unlocking capital where it's needed most. The portfolio that DP World Trade Finance handles has also proven to create a very healthy loan book with high-quality assets, way better than the industry benchmarks, further reinforcing the effectiveness of this data-driven, integrated approach. To date, DP World Trade Finance has enabled trade across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, supporting sectors including agriculture, metals, automotive, and engineering. Commenting on this achievement, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said, "The growth of our trade finance business underscores the UAE's role as a catalyst for global trade.

Through DP World Trade Finance, we've created a network that connects businesses with capital, streamlines the financing process and enables trade to flow more consistently on a global scale.' The global trade finance gap, estimated at US$2.5 trillion, continues to limit opportunities for businesses in developing economies, particularly those without access to traditional financing due to limited credit histories, lack of collateral, or weaker balance sheets that classify them as high risk.
