14. 14 An efficient response to market needs During the global financial crisis, the IDB’s partnership with trade finance funds continued to provide stable and reliable financing for its clients, many of whom are SMEs, and to stimulate growth Due to growing demand in Latin America and the Caribbean, we are extending the support to existing funds to further increase access to trade finance. These funds fill a critical void in local banking sectors by providing access to finance for clients that would otherwise face unaffordable or limited financing from traditional banking outlets. The high level of demand attests to their success.
