BNP Paribas (BNPP) has completed a securitisation of commodity trade finance loan receivables, in a $131.6 million transaction through the special platform Lighthouse Trade Finance Issuer. The transaction is a first of its kind in the trade market where the debt issuance is backed by commodity loan receivables, and as such opens up a new funding route for commodity trade finance.
