DP World Trade Finance has mobilized over $1 billion in working capital for businesses across emerging markets.
This funding helps bridge the global trade finance gap and keeps goods moving in challenging economic environments.
The milestone was achieved through DP World’s lending operations and partnerships with more than 32 financial institutions worldwide, including J.P. Morgan, Standard Bank, and NedBank.
Their financing solutions work in tandem with DP World’s logistics network to mitigate risk.
This integrated approach enables businesses of all sizes to access capital more easily, particularly in underserved markets, lowering barriers to international trade.
By combining trade finance with logistics, DP World provides businesses with both funding and real-time supply chain visibility.
This model allows lenders to make faster, better-informed decisions and deploy capital where it is most needed.
To date, DP World Trade Finance has facilitated trade across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, with key sectors including agriculture, metals, automotive, and engineering.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, stated: “The expansion of our trade finance business highlights the UAE’s role as a catalyst for global trade. By improving access to capital, especially in high-potential markets, we are building a more inclusive and resilient trade system.”
Sinan Ozcan, Senior Executive Officer of DP World Trade Finance, added: “Cross-border trade drives global economic growth, but affordable financing remains a major hurdle for many businesses, particularly SMEs in emerging markets. Through DP World Trade Finance, we’ve established a network that connects businesses with capital, simplifies financing, and ensures smoother global trade flows.”
The global trade finance gap, estimated at $2.5 trillion, continues to restrict opportunities for businesses in developing economies.
