Is it so that many people working in Trade Finance still don't know many basics of Trade Finance?

Sorry, I'm really don't agree with your point, as the Trade Finance people experience they are gain during their day-to-day work, there are many institutions are concerned mainly with "Trade Finance", education, training and culture, like for example:

- The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and its new Academy.

- The Egyptian Banking Institute (EBI), The education arm of Central Bank Of Egypt.

- Many other Banking Traning Institutions in Middle East, Europe and USA.

Yes , but its also depend on the manager and organisations
