Supply and Distribution Chain Solutions
Alternatives to Unlock Liquidity and Support your
Financing and Working Capital Needs
in Today’s Environment
Relevance in Today’s Market
Causes & Effects of Credit Crisis
The “lack of confidence” in the
financial market undermined short-term
lending.
Corporate bond spreads in Europe
have more then quadrupled over the last
year. Credit Default Swaps at all time
highs
Significant re-pricing of credit across
all customers from SME/MME sector
through to major multi-nationals.
Pricing in Central and Eastern Europe
is also rising as the effects of the credit
meltdown start to filter into the
economies of the less stable emerging
markets.
Capital Markets have shut down with
negligible to no securitization and
commercial papers activities
Credit Insurers have significantly cut
limits and increased pricing as claims
mount and re-insurers retrench

Extension of terms hurts Suppliers
– Reduces liquidity and margins without any
incremental benefits
– Acceleration of receivables is costly and limited
by Supplier’s credit
