In October, 2017, I received
a very warm welcome, when I had the pleasure of addressing a group of banking
representatives, members of the Chamber of Commerce, and representatives of the
British Embassy, at an event we organised on behalf of The London Institute of Banking
& Finance (LIBF) and the National Committee of the International Chamber
of Commerce (ICC) in Costa Rica.
We organised the event in order to present LIBFs Trade Finance Certifications, namely,
Certificate for Documentary Credit Specialists (CDCS®), Certificate for
Specialists in Demand Guarantees (CSDG®) and Certificate in International Trade
and Finance CITF®), designed in partnership with the ICC. It was also
announced that ICC in San José would become LIBFs exam centre, for these
certifications, in Costa Rica.
It was a
very rewarding experience and very glad to see so much interest in LIBFs educational offering and in particular its Trade Finance Certifications.
My thanks
to Maria Claudia Jiménez, Executive Director of ICC, Costa Rica; Pablo Ledezma
Boschini, President of the Banking Commission; Yorleny Araya, Administrative
Assistant and Hector.
Until next
time, Costa Rica!
