Through the creation of innovative trade finance and trade development solutions, ITFC has bridged regions, fostered trade, and improved the lives of people. ITFC’s strong partnerships with various financial institutions, sovereigns, and multilateral organizations have been crucial in leveraging its resources and capabilities to enhance trade finance and development initiatives. Together with our partners, ITFC will explore future opportunities and set the stage for innovative solutions that will unlock more potential over the next fifteen years.”

The Anniversary campaign will include hosting a series of bespoke events and bilateral meetings to foster an industry dialogue on global challenges confronting trade in OIC member countries.
