The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC), a member of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, has launched its Trade-Related Technical Assistance (TRTA) initiative.
The program aims to support member governments and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in enhancing their trade capabilities.
According to the statement, the initiative intends to support the development of new export products, improve existing products, access new markets, and strengthen institutional capacities for effective participation in trade.
The TRTA initiative includes a broad spectrum of technical assistance activities designed to enhance trade capabilities. These activities range from improving products and systems to organizing roundtable discussions, expert meetings, and trade courses.
Additionally, the initiative hosts regional seminars, workshops, and specialized training sessions on key topics such as Islamic finance, sustainable growth, and other areas crucial for strengthening trade practices and fostering economic development.
ITFC ranked Global #1 Bookrunner and Mandated Lead Arranger
Earlier this month, the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) was ranked Global #1 Bookrunner and Mandated Lead Arranger (MLA) in the 2025 Bloomberg and LSEG Data & Analytics Islamic Syndications League Tables.
This achievement marks five consecutive years of leadership in the Islamic syndications market, solidifying ITFC’s position at the forefront of the industry.
The Bloomberg ranking highlights the Corporation’s strength in originating and leading complex Islamic syndicated trade finance transactions, supported by its ability to mobilize a broad and diversified global investor base. Complementing this, the Refinitiv ranking reflects ITFC’s consistent leadership and strong market credibility.
In recent years, ITFC has focused on diversifying the economies of member countries, advancing Islamic trade finance, expanding intra-Organization of Islamic Cooperation trade, and building private-sector capacity.
