NEW ITFA MEMBERS

The ITFA Board is pleased to announce the following three new members.

Operating primarily within Africa and the Middle East the focus of African Forfaiting Limited (AFL) is to provide long term financing and forfaiting solutions for large infrastructure projects in the telecom, mining, construction, transport and power sectors.

Their boutique approach to forfaiting means that AFL is nimble enough to move quickly whilst drawing on a wealth of expertise and experience. Matching clients with the most appropriate bank for each individual project is AFL’s acknowledged speciality. Syndication of debt is a complex transaction made simple by the in depth working knowledge of a number of regional and international banks and financial institutions.

AFL has built partnerships with banks across Africa and the Middle East by being fully conversant with their mandates and objectives. Their success is based on the ability to match their clients requirements with those of the relevant financial institutions. AFL offer long term support to clients for transactions that are often quite challenging, resulting in strong relationships which are mutually rewarding for their clients and the banks.

Urvesh Rajani will be the main contact in relation to ITFA.

Mashreqbank  is one of the leading banks in UAE with a growing presence in the GCC region including Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. The bank also has four branches and three representative offices in seven other countries.

In the Middle East, Mashreq is a full service retail and corporate bank, and in London, New York, Hong Kong and Mumbai the branches form part of the bank’s financial institutions division.

In all locations trade finance is a key business area. From the simplest of trade related transactions, like advising, confirming, negotiation and discount, to originating and structuring more complex transactions. We provide our expertise in multiple countries and currencies to importers and exporters at highly competitive rates.

Robert Dollery will be the main delegate with respect to ITFA matters.

Africa Trade Finance Limited (ATF) focuses on the origination and distribution of African trade finance transactions, with a target to accompany new and non-traditional financiers such as banks, funds and alternative lenders in investing in African trade assets.

ATF has a solid network within leading African trade finance institutions, underpinned by a deep understanding of the risks associated with regional and pan African credit markets.

ATF's strong technical expertise in trade finance structures and instruments, together with enhanced due diligence and governance, makes it a leader in African Trade market.

Christian Karam will be the main contact in relation to ITFA.
