NEW YORK -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

IIG Capital LLC has released the first issue of IIG Trade Finance Insights, a monthly newsletter addressing developments and trends affecting the international trade finance market.

The November issue of Insights focuses on a recent speech by Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the World Trade Organization, in which he lays out his vision for an international monetary system that will support global trade. The key aspects of his recommendations are summarized, including his call for greater vigilance as continued economic uncertainty is leading to calls for more protectionism.

"The multilateral trading system Pascal Lamy proposes would be an important step forward in rebuilding the global economy," stated IIG Capital Partner and Co-founder David Hu. "It is appropriate that the first issue of Insights highlights his views. We welcome suggestions from our colleagues in the trade finance community for relevant topics affecting our industry."

"Despite the turmoil in the global financial industry, world economies continue to move toward more open markets and a stronger flow of free trade," said IIG Capital Partner and Co-founder Martin Silver. "Insights will help international merchants, traders and processors stay informed about related issues and opportunities."
