Atradius UK Establishes Surety Division
The trade credit insurer Atradius has released a new report titled "Industry Trends: Construction," offering insights into the current state and future outlook of the UK construction sector.
According to the report, the sector is facing several challenges, with trade tariffs and related economic uncertainty being key risks that are weighing on commercial construction investment. These trade tariffs create disruptions and dampen investor confidence, leading to a slowdown in sector growth and increased risks for construction projects and companies.
The report forecasts a cautious outlook for the construction sector, as ongoing uncertainty around trade policies and tariffs continues to affect investment decisions. This economic environment risks impacting liquidity and payment practices within the industry, possibly increasing credit and payment default risks.
To help businesses navigate these uncertainties, Atradius has enhanced its capabilities in the UK construction sector by launching a dedicated Surety branch. This development aims to provide comprehensive bonds, guarantees, and risk management solutions to help businesses secure financing more effectively. For instance, Atradius Surety's support has helped companies like Vinci Construction expand financing options and manage credit risk despite the challenging market environment.
The report also provides details on the risks across the UK construction sector, offering valuable guidance for businesses operating in this industry.
Meanwhile, in Turkey, Atradius's latest country report offers details on the Turkish economy's recovery from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The report forecasts a bounce back for the Turkish economy in 2021, following a growth of just 0.9% in the aftermath of the currency crisis in 2018. The report is available for reading.
Elsewhere, Vantage FX has appointed Geraldine Goh as Global Marketing Director, a key component of the company's expansion strategy.
