Abstract

This article considers the digitalization of the end-to-end trade finance process. Given that the emergence and adoption of innovative technologies in trade finance have made full digitalization possible, this article argues that digitalizing the entire trade finance process is a mission for the entire trade finance ecosystem: to successfully digitalize the full trade finance process, one would need to get all the parties involved on board. It also argues that innovation is only one piece of the puzzle and supporting legal frameworks and recognized standards are essential to accelerate the digitalization journey. Divided into seven parts, the article outlines the development of the trade finance industry, focusing on the main challenges and the legal responses to digitalization, before assessing why digitalization the entire process is hard to scale. It discusses disruptive technologies in trade finance, concluding that collaboration between the trade finance industry parties and removing legal uncertainty can assist in accelerating the digitalization transformation.

期刊介绍： The mission of the European Business Law Review is to provide a forum for analysis and discussion of business law, including European Union law and the laws of the Member States and other European countries, as well as legal frameworks and issues in international and comparative contexts. The Review moves freely over the boundaries that divide the law, and covers business law, broadly defined, in public or private law, domestic, European or international law. Our topics of interest include commercial, financial, corporate, private and regulatory laws with a broadly business dimension. The Review offers current, authoritative scholarship on a wide range of issues and developments, featuring contributors providing an international as well as a European perspective. The Review is an invaluable source of current scholarship, information, practical analysis, and expert guidance for all practising lawyers, advisers, and scholars dealing with European business law on a regular basis. The Review has over 25 years established the highest scholarly standards. It distinguishes itself as open-minded, embracing interests that appeal to the scholarly, practitioner and policy-making spheres. It practices strict routines of peer review. The Review imposes no word limit on submissions, subject to the appropriateness of the word length to the subject under discussion.
