The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s (EBRD) Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) has partnered with Trade Treasury Payments (TTP) to deliver a new suite of interactive insight modules designed to help partner banks stay current with the ever-evolving world of trade and supply-chain finance.

The initiative expands the TFP’s long-standing capacity-building agenda by offering real-time, practitioner-led perspectives that complement formal training. Through short videos, podcasts, and case-based articles, the collaboration will allow partner banks to follow live market developments, analyse recent transactions and reforms, and exchange lessons learned across borders.

Shona Tatchell, Head of the EBRD Trade Facilitation Programme, said:

“The trade and supply-chain finance landscape is changing faster than ever. Digitisation, new regulatory frameworks, and sustainability considerations are transforming how transactions are structured and how risk is managed. For our partner banks, keeping pace with these shifts is essential.

This partnership with Trade Treasury Payments gives our network access to practical insight as the market evolves, real case studies, new regulations, and examples of innovation from within their own regions. It supports our objective to help institutions learn, share, and create together; to build capacity, level the playing field, and, ultimately, deepen development impact across the economies where we operate.”

Deepesh Patel, Founder and Managing Director of Trade Treasury Payments, said:

“We see this as a continuation of the EBRD’s exceptional work in trade finance education. What we’re adding is a living, breathing layer of applied insight, stories and experiences from the market as they happen. It’s about connecting what banks already know with what’s changing today, helping them translate knowledge into strategy and impact.”

The new digital content, developed jointly by EBRD TFP and TTP, will be rolled out on the EBRD’s learning platform in phases and be available to EBRD partner banks in Q1 2026.

Topics will include open-account trade, receivables and payables finance, forfaiting, digitalisation, sustainability, and disclosure standards, with regional examples drawn from Central Asia, the Western Balkans, and beyond.
