According to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), global trade will be worth USD25 trillion by 2027, from USD18.5 trillion in 2018. About 80% of world trade relies on Trade Finance, which generates four billion pages of documents every year.

In an effort to digitize Trade Finance, the Singapore Customs launched Networked Trade Platform (NTP), bringing together players across the trade value chain onto a single platform to enable end-to-end digital trade.
