Participants will gain insight into how to effectively use the OBIC platform as an improved credit risk management tool that also facilitates access to finance for trade and investment, as well as the mitigation of risks related to those activities. Moreover, the OBIC will contribute to the development and enhancing the maturity of credit reporting ecosystems in the OIC Member States.

The program will focus on the importance of credit information and data sharing when it comes to decision-making with regard to the evaluation of the environments for potential investments, the flow of intra-trade, and boosting the export sector to other parts of the world.  This is in addition to supporting Member States in the development and implementation of their business intelligence strategies.

The three-day program will feature presentations, workshops, and interactive discussions with industry experts, along with real-life case studies and examples.

This is an exceptional opportunity for the potential users of the OBIC to gain a better understanding of credit information, data sharing, and business intelligence, and will serve to equip them with the tools and knowledge to make credit and investment decisions.
