Approvals were also up by 4% YoY, reaching US$ 6.81 billion in trade financing through 102 transactions benefitting 21 countries. The disbursement ratio reached 1.08 in 2022 compared to 0.8 in 2021.

The average tenor of ITFC operations reached a record 10.5 months in 2022, up from 9.6 months in 2021. The duration of ITFC’s financing is made at 93% in the short term (less than 2 years), with 43% financing for up to one year. Only 7% of the transactions have tenors of 2-3 years maximum.
