On 28 October 2026, Tradelink and Coface, a global leader in trade credit insurance and risk management, co-hosted a joint executive webinar entitled “Global Expansion Guide: Uncovering Overseas Buyers’ Credit Profiles to Capture New Markets”. The virtual event convened industry executives, corporate decision-makers, and trade finance professionals to examine macroeconomic headwinds, mitigate surging default risks in international trade, and build robust supply chain capabilities that strengthen enterprise resilience.
The webinar brought together three subject matter experts who delivered targeted risk-management perspectives:
- 2027 Payment Risk Outlook for Hong Kong and Mainland China: Mr Junyu Tan, North Asia Economist at Coface, delivered an exclusive analysis of macroeconomic trade trends. He pointed out that data indicates up to 93% of surveyed Hong Kong enterprises experienced overdue payments over the past 12 months, forecasting that the payment landscape will face continued downward pressure over the coming year.
- Institutional Risk Assessment & Credit Limits: Mr Jeffrey Lee, Business Development Manager for Business Information at Coface, advised enterprises to transition towards a data-led risk management model. He provided a detailed breakdown of Coface Business Information (BI) reports, explaining how independent, objective assessment reports and recommended credit limits can substantially eliminate uncertainty when vetting overseas buyers’ creditworthiness.
- Demonstration on the “T+” Platform: Mr Jerry Yeung, Relationship Manager at Tradelink, conducted a live demonstration of the “T+” all-in-one digital trade platform. He illustrated how enterprises can leverage the platform’s deep integration with Coface data to retrieve buyers’ credit profiles with a single click — significantly boosting due diligence and risk monitoring efficiency to facilitate swift, secure global market expansion.
