Just over a year ago in April 2020, Spain was in the throes of the first wave of the pandemic and plunged into a state of economic semi-paralysis. The vast majority of companies were closed, people were working remotely and the figures for unemployment, furloughs and temporary redundancy plans were growing each day. It seemed as if, to add insult to injury, an economic virus was following in the footsteps of the coronavirus.
Confirming or Supplier Financing programs known as Supply Chain Finance (SCF) have proven to be a good tool for managing payments from companies as well as providing financing for their SME suppliers. Since its origin, the product has undergone many variations, improvements, and advances in the market, all of which have served to demonstrate how important it has become to its users as it continues to add value to them in particular and the market in general.
From this forum of opinion and ideas, that is the Alvantia Blog, we would like to put forward our humble vision of the situation in which we are currently embroiled, and will continue to experience over the next few days and weeks. We will look at this in a strictly economic and financial context and particularly from the point of view of a simple analysis and forecast of what may happen in the coming months, specifically, the liquidity that the network of SMEs and the self-employed will need.
