The TG Facility will allow the Bank to provide up to 100% guarantee to Confirming Banks (CBs) for the non-payment risk arising from the confirmation of letters of credit and similar trade finance instruments issued by FSDH. The TFLOC will have a tenor of 3.5 years and the TG will have a tenor of 3 years.
