With the kind cooperation of
With the kind sponsoring of
Factoring continues to grow successfully both in mature markets and
in emerging markets. Through their control methods and permanent
monitoring of the receivables on their clients’ debtors, Factoring
Companies are able to provide more financing than traditional lenders,
and at the same time, limit their credit risks to a strict minimum.
Factoring companies therefore play an important role in financing the
economic activity, also during the financial crisis. Traditionally it is small
and medium-sized companies that benefit most from this financial
instrument, but also more important companies use factoring for flexible
growth finance or for restructuring purposes.
In order to spread the above message as
much as possible at a regional level, the
FCI Central and East Europe Chapter has
decided to organize a conference in
Bucharest on 1 and 2 June 2016.
The Regional Chapter Conferences focus
on a regional view on factoring, offering
attendees a unique opportunity, not only
to discuss the current state of the Industry,
new challenges and products & markets
development, but also to network with
players in the same region.
THE REGIONAL CHAPTER
Central and Eastern Europe, along with the
former CIS countries have a rapidly developing
invoice finance industry; skills development and
the sharing of best practice are real focuses in
these quickly evolving marketplaces.
The Eastern European Chapter is focused on
supporting these particular regional needs
and opportunities.
Its mission is to promote factoring and FCI
regionally. It therefore organizes events and
activities which have a particular focus on regional
issues and opportunities.
FCI was set up in 1968 as an umbrella organisation for independent factoring companies around the
world. Today we have grown into the world’s representative factoring network and association with
more than 400 members in 90 countries.
When FCI started, domestic factoring was only available in North America and a few European
countries. The concept of cross-border factoring was still new and restricted by its lack of geographic
reach. Recognising the potential for international factoring, the founding FCI members realised an
umbrella organisation was needed, firstly to introduce factoring in countries where it was not yet
available, and secondly to develop a framework for international factoring that would allow factoring
companies in the country of the exporter and the importer to work closely together.
In 2016 the activities of IFG (International Factors Group) were integrated into FCI. Today, FCI is
truly the global representative body for the Factoring & Receivables Finance Industry.
FCI offers three major areas of activities:
CONNECT : the Business network supports cross-border factoring activities through which its
members cooperate as export and import factors
EDUCATE : FCI promotes and develops best practices in both domestic and international factoring
and related Open Account Finance products
INFLUENCE : FCI promotes and defends the Industry with stakeholders and policy makers worldwide
