MANILA, Philippines - If you are involved in negotiations and transactions in PPP investment projects, international trade (Import & Export), and project finance structures, it’s a must that you understand the use of bank guarantees and standby letters of credit (SBLC as differentiated from LC) as commercial instruments for use in your business transactions.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), in collaboration with Center for Global Best Practices, will hold a rare special two-day seminar entitled, “Revised ICC Rules on Demand Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit for Bankers, Investors, Importers, Exporters and Lawyers†to be held on Wednesday & Thursday, Feb. 26 & 27, 2014 at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.
