      • Ability to negotiate better terms from strategic suppliers (increase purchasing volume / extend payment terms / buy on open account, no need for LCs / increase shipment frequency).
      • Increase confidence in your supply chain knowing Bladex´s ability to create tailored made solutions supported by our experience, relationship with main suppliers in each industry and financial strength.
