We can be a constant in a world of change

The world of trade is facing unprecedented disruption, but we can be a strategic partner and innovative problem solver for our clients, writes Vivek Ramachandran, our Head of Global Trade Solutions.

Global trade will look different in the coming years. The current trading environment is evolving rapidly and it’s unclear where things will settle – and there are longer term macro dynamics that will fundamentally reshape economies and trade corridors, inevitably presenting new opportunities.

As the world’s #1 trade bank, our priority is to support clients through this period of uncertainty. Businesses have been scenario planning and are taking steps to adapt their strategy and supply chain models, whilst remaining agile.

Whether it’s a decision to expand into a new market or take on a new supplier, the decisions being made by global businesses require the right support.

This is where HSBC can help – our global reach and local expertise mean we understand the challenges facing businesses, even in a rapidly changing environment.

Our targeted solutions address the business needs of our clients, whether that’s structured working capital solutions, documentary trade solutions or receivables finance.

By continuing to invest in digital trade platforms and innovative financing solutions, we’re helping businesses navigate the complexity and strengthen supply chain resilience for the future.

HSBC has supported customers for 160 years and weathered change in all forms. We want to be our clients’ strategic partner and innovative problem solver. In a world of change, we can be their constant.
