Course Overview
Growth built on poorly controlled export and import financing reverses faster than it accumulated. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over import financing. This programme builds the wider financial and banking practice agenda from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to export and import financing in an order their organisation can absorb. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this aspect of financial and banking practice, not for observers of it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in import financing that were visible long before the incident. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of export and import financing and prepares them for it. The difficulty is not agreeing that import financing matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the wider financial and banking practice agenda rather than a set of notes.
