LONDON (Reuters) – HSBC will target net zero carbon emissions across its entire customer base by 2050 at the latest, and provide between $750 billion and $1 trillion in financing to help clients make the transition, its Chief Executive Noel Quinn told Reuters.

In the strongest statement by Europe’s biggest bank on climate change to date, its CEO outlined HSBC’s ambitions to align its activities with the Paris Agreement.

“COVID has been a wake-up call to us all, including me personally, we have seen how fragile the global economy is to a major event, in this case a health event, and it brings home the reality of what a major climate event could do,” Quinn told Reuters in a video interview.

JOHANNESBURG, Oct 8 (Reuters) – South African power utility Eskom is still seeking funding for its shift from coal to greener fuels, but hopes to announce a deal at next year’s COP26 climate conference after talks with lenders including the World Bank, its chief executive said on Thursday.

Eskom, which generates 90% of South Africa’s power, has a 488 billion rand ($29.3 billion) debt burden and has imposed intermittent blackouts, denting economic growth and hurting investment.

The utility is in talks over funding with local and international developmental finance institutions, including the World Bank, and has received letters of support in principle, Andre de Ruyter told Reuters on the sidelines of the Joburg Indaba mining conference.

“There are both many local and international development finance institutions that are prepared to offer entities such as Eskom with funding linked to accelerated decarbonisation,” said de Ruyter.

SINGAPORE – Some of the world’s biggest banks in commodity trade financing are creating a digital trade finance registry in Singapore to try and mitigate the risk of trade fraud and boost transparency after losing billions of dollars due to a spate of defaults.

Banks have reduced their commodities business this year to cut risk following collapses, including that of Singapore’s Hin Leong Trading (Pte) Ltd, which shocked lenders after instances of financial trouble were laid bare by the coronavirus crisis.

In a joint statement issued on Tuesday, DBS Group DBSM.SI and Standard Chartered STAN.L said they are leading a group of 12 other banks in Singapore to create and conduct a central database to access trade transactions financed across banks.

By Nelson Bocanegra

BOGOTA, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Colombia plans to substitute some of its planned 2020 financing in dollars for a local debt emission of about 5 trillion pesos ($1.28 bln), three market sources with knowledge of the plan told Reuters on Monday.

The ministry will extend auctions of local so-called TES bonds until November in order to raise the projected funds.

TES paper is the country’s second top source of financing after tax collection.

The Finance Ministry plans to move ahead with pre-financing needs for 2021 and is considering an internal debt swap on the local market, the sources said.

The ministry did not have an immediate response to a request for comment.

In early September, director of public credit Cesar Arias told Reuters Colombia would carry out public debt swaps with multilateral banks to reduce its exchange rate exposure amid higher debt due to coronavirus and

| business

Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ:BOXL) is pursuing a roll-up strategy mostly in the interactive classroom technology solutions field. Since 2016, the company has closed nine acquisitions and, according to management on the most recent conference call, Boxlight is “currently evaluating several additional M&A targets that would result in either improving our product offering or expanding our geographic footprint“.

Unfortunately, the company is also known as a bad case of overpromise and underdeliver. After initially guiding FY2019 revenues to grow 25% to $47 million, the company ended the year with revenues of just $33 million, a 13% decrease from 2018 levels. Remember, these results were entirely unaffected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Easiest Business Loan to Get: What Factors Are Important When Looking for a Financing Solution?

May 4, 2020
| No Comments
| business

Every type of business requires some sort of loan or line of credit for a wide range of reasons: start up capital, equipment, inventory, office rental, etc. Since every business and every owner is different and has unique circumstances, the easiest business loan to get for another owner might not be the easiest for you.

For start-ups or businesses that have either no credit history or a poor credit history, it will likely be difficult to obtain traditional bank loans. Also, with a low credit score, your interest rate will be high, even if you are approved for a loan.

Lenders will usually look at more than your credit history. Other factors include your time in business, industry, your personal credit score, whether you’ve had any recent bankruptcies or defaults, balance sheet, business licenses and permits, tax returns, purpose of loan, proof of collateral, and several other reasons.

May 1, 2020

| business

Small business financing is often the only way for some businesses to get the capital they need to open their doors, expand operations, or develop new services and products. However, the Great Recession created some significant hurdles for personal and business loan applicants who boasted less-than-perfect credit scores.

However, recent investigations suggest that banks are starting to open their doors to business owners in greater numbers. Although credit requirements remain above what they were before the recession, lending has indeed warmed up for many business owners. Where many businesses were just “treading water,” they’ve now entered an era of cautious and optimistic growth.

Another positive sign in small business financing is the improved cash flow in the nation’s major banks, which has led to increased lending activity and an overall reduction in average commercial loan rates.
