Bank Guarantee is a financial instrument used widely all over the world. As a safeguard for parties that are involved in trade deals especially when there is a lack of trust in the ability of another party to fulfill the agreement. This key tool in international trade is used mainly to ensure the fulfilment of obligations between the buyer and seller. Along with offering protection to both the parties involved in the trade deal it also mitigates risks and establishes trust in untapped markets or when dealing with new partners.
