How Europe Is Redrawing Trade Finance Rules After Commodity Turmoil

Episode 31 of International Business with Fexingo examines how European regulators are restructuring trade finance rules in the wake of 2025's commodity market disruptions. Lucas and Luna break down the shift from short-term bank letters of credit to longer-duration digital instruments, the role of distributed ledger pilots in Rotterdam and Singapore, and what the new capital requirements mean for multinational supply chains. They reference current data including the trade-weighted dollar index at 118.9 and the euro hovering near parity at $1.17. A close look at one specific regulatory change — the European Banking Authority's updated treatment of trade credit under Basel III endgame — and how it's already reshaping deal terms in agricultural and metals trading. #TradeFinance #BaselIII #Europe #Commodities #Regulation #SupplyChains #LettersOfCredit #DigitalTrade #EBA #Rotterdam #Singapore #InternationalTrade #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalTrade #TradeRules Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
