Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 106.

Over the past decade, some commodity trading firms have increasingly replaced banks in performing financial intermediation across their value chains. Since this role has primarily been fulfilled using prepayment facilities, these financing schemes act as a benchmark to gauge their lending practices. In some countries and commodity markets, prepayment facilities now act as the most readily...
