Of this gap, $1.1 trillion is in developing Asia (including India and the PRC). Banks reported a global rejection rate of trade finance applications of 29%.<\/p>\n<p>Case studies of factoring, forfaiting and credit insurance providers reported similar global rejection rates at between 25%\u201340% of proposed transactions.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the company surveys, only a very few proposals for these types of finance were reported and rejection rates for these were very low with factoring at 7%, forfaiting at 3%, and credit insurance at 5%.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests that these forms of finance have considerable room to expand globally.<\/p>\n<p>Geographically, much of the gap in trade finance happens within Asia. Asia registered the largest share of proposed transactions at 57% of the global total.<\/p>\n<p>However, Asia also received the highest proportion (79%) of global rejected transactions (see Figure 1).<\/p>\n<p>Asia\u2019s BRICs countries &#8211; India and the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) \u2013 registered the highest proportion (35%) of rejected transactions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3775\" src=\"http:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/proposed-and-rejected-trade-finance-transactions.jpg\" alt=\"accepted and rejected trade finance transactions\" width=\"587\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/proposed-and-rejected-trade-finance-transactions.jpg 587w, https:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/proposed-and-rejected-trade-finance-transactions-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Expected Impact of More Trade Finance Support on Production and Jobs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While it is impossible to disentangle the direct impact that trade finance has on economic growth and job creation, surveyed firms offer some insight into how better trade finance access would manifest in terms of these outcomes (Figure 2).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3776\" src=\"http:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-more-trade-finance-on-production-and-jobs.jpg\" alt=\"trade finance support and jobs\" width=\"359\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-more-trade-finance-on-production-and-jobs.jpg 359w, https:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-more-trade-finance-on-production-and-jobs-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-more-trade-finance-on-production-and-jobs-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.letterofcredit.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-more-trade-finance-on-production-and-jobs-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A 15% increase in access to trade finance would increase production by 22%.
