Peter stated “The global domestic and international factoring industry generated more than €2 Trillion in volume in 2011, and the members of FCI account for nearly 60% of this total. International Factoring is the fastest growth sector in the global trade finance arena, having grown at an average rate of 20% p.a. over the past five years. FCI plays a critical role in supporting the growth of international cross border trade finance in the open account space by providing a sound and secure infrastructure to our members to conduct cross border finance against their client’s accounts receivables in 72 countries. Over the past 45 years, FCI has promulgated the General Rules of International Factoring (GRIF), built a robust technological infrastructure, developed a superior education platform, and created a marketing and distribution capability that supports a €300 Billion international factoring industry. I will continue to support these efforts by engaging with our members and develop new partnerships and opportunities in markets around the globe. Jeroen has played an instrumental role in the growth of international factoring over the past four decades, and he will leave FCI with the appreciation and gratitude of our industry’s present and past leaders. I look forward to working with Jeroen over the next six months to ensure a smooth transition.”
