LONDON, June 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

According to SUISSE BANK PLC, 2013 is seeing a reinvigoration of the trade finance market as volatile economic conditions continue to push borrowers back to traditional trade products.

Importers and exporters are also discovering that supply chain finance solutions are becoming more extensive while the export credit market has become one of the most vital financial instruments available.

"Because of Basel III, everyone needs more capital and different financial structures. SUISSE BANK PLC has made significant investments in technology in order to make it easier for a client to effectively use trade products and services, but we are still seeing great demand for our bank guarantees and letters of credit," a spokesperson for the bank said.

The core business of SUISSE BANK PLC consists of the sale of financial instruments to its shareholders.
