Second, the complex dynamics of a shifting world emphasise the advantages of our scale and global footprint. That is why customers are turning to us as their trusted partner. We operate across the world’s key trade routes, including the intra-regional corridors that have been growing fast over recent years. We have longstanding experience of facilitating financial flows both globally and through the local expertise we’ve gained from being so deeply rooted in economies throughout our 160 year history. We have 5,000 trade specialists in more than 50 markets operating on both sides of trade flows. This brings significant expertise and real time insight to our customers.
