Why is financing so important for export operations? This is primarily due to the fact that the most inviting payment term for a foreign buyer is deferred payment. For example, more than 80% of trade between European countries is carried out on deferred payment terms (i.e. when the exporter provides a commercial credit to its counterparty).
