GTR LEADERS IN TRADE AWARDS 2008
Who do you rate as the best?

GTR is proud to announce the launch of its first annual readers' poll on the world's leading financial institutions in trade finance.

We are conducting a readers’ poll of the best banks globally and regionally in trade, commodity and export finance. Banks and their clients now have the chance to voice their views on which financial institutions have really excelled in this market during 2008.

The competition is divided into a number of categories, allowing readers to cast their vote on the best financial institution in a particular region and particular business line.

To be recognised as the best in a sector, a bank does not necessarily need to have conducted the largest deal or the highest volume of trade finance business, but rather be acknowledged by its clients for providing the best service possible.

Voting is now open online and will close by December 5, 2008, with publication in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of GTR. Financial institutions must not vote for themselves, but banks are free to forward this email to as many clients as they wish.

However banks are invited to send in their own pitches on what makes them the best bank in a particular region and sector. This information could be used at GTR’s discretion in the event of a tiebreaker situation. Please email all pitches to the contact details below.

If you have any questions about the awards and the voting procedure, please contact Peter Gubbins on pgubbins@exportagroup.com.
