“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

Documentary

Practices:
Controversy and
Guidance
3. • SYMPTOMS: Previous comments on this topic from 2017:
• The majority of documentary problems are caused by:
– Poor drafting of the credit;
– Excessive and unnecessary data being added to documents;
– Lack of attention to detail and management of the production,
shipment and document collation processes;
– Lack of understanding of documentary credit workflows and the
principles of UCP 600
Step 1 – What is The Real Problem?
4. Parties do NOT understand the reason the LC exists:
Movement of Goods and Payment
• Simplifying UCP or Credits will not solve the lack of understanding of the
underlying process which the LC exists to facilitate:
• Applicant: Documents evidencing shipment of ordered goods; what the
typical documents are and how they work and what their content
should be
• Seller: Assurance of timely payment through document prep and
presentation
• Banks: Financing and reimbursement
Step 2 – Why Do These Things Happen?
5. • Education
• Train your CLIENTS in LC basics:
– What is a LC, How Does It Work, Completing Your Application Form, Basics
of Creating Documents
• Train your STAFF in Issuance, Amendments, Document Examination,
AND HOW CREDITS and TRADE REALLY WORK
• Visit and where necessary Train FREIGHT FORWARDERS like you train
clients
•
Step 3 – Treatment AND CURE
6. • Increase access to UCP and ISBP 745
– Applicants, Beneficiaries, Forwarders and BANKERS
• Take your staff on a trip to your Clients Factory, Port, Forwarders Office
• 50% of the problems apply to the presented documents: it is a justifiable
assumption that a greater understanding of ISBP 745 would help
alleviate these problems and greatly reduce this percentage
• It is very clear that significant attention must be paid to the
distribution of, and education in, “ISBP”
• AND WHY it Exists – this is a key issue moving forward
Step 4 – HOW DO WE GET THERE?
