Examining the
Greensill Fallout
11 March 2021
11:00-12:00 GMT

Examining Greensill
– an impending crisis for SCF?
The collapse of Greensill last week is once again raising questions about supply chain
finance and the way it is operated. Are these questions justified? Is it reasonable to
question the efficacy of supply chain finance based on what happened at Greensill?
Has the reporting of the Greensill situation and the whole sector been fair and objective?
What can the sector do to allay concerns and ensure that the growth and evolution of the
sector continue without hindrance and bad PR?

•   What reputational damage might there be to the sector?

•   What is the public perception of SCF now?

•   Credit insurance – friend or foe?

•   What action might be considered by regulators and rating agencies, if any?

•   Comparing fintechs and banks as SCF providers
