TFD Initiative (TFDI)

TFD Initiative is a global industry platform focused on improving the distribution, accessibility and efficiency of trade finance assets across the financial ecosystem. It brings together banks, institutional investors, fintech providers and corporates to support greater participation in trade finance markets through standardisation, education and market connectivity.

The initiative is widely recognised for its role in promoting a more open and scalable trade finance distribution environment. Through research, working groups and industry engagement, TFD Initiative helps market participants address structural challenges in funding, liquidity and risk sharing, while encouraging wider participation from non traditional investors in trade related assets.
