The Department of Economics at the Hochschule Niederrhein invites you to the next edition of the Banking & Finance Forum. On Wednesday, 4 June 2025 from 6 p.m. (Audimax, Webschulstraße 41-43, Mönchengladbach), the topic "Factoring as a secure anchor in economically uncertain times" will be on the agenda.
This event is organised by Dr Bernhard Müller, Professor of General Business Administration, in particular Finance. Admission is free. External guests are requested to register by e-mail at forum_bankingandfinance(at)hs-niederrhein.de.
The sale of receivables under factoring agreements is now also a common method of corporate financing in Germany, enabling companies of all sizes to react flexibly to market dynamics. Accordingly, factoring turnover among companies rose from 244.3 billion euros to 398.8 billion euros between 2018 and 2024.
However, risk assessment has become more difficult for the funding buyer, particularly in the case of export factoring. Economic and political uncertainties in international business make it increasingly uncertain whether scheduled payments from abroad will actually materialise.
Our host company, BNP Paribas Factor GmbH, is part of the BNP Paribas Group - one of Europe's leading banks with around 178,000 employees in 64 countries. It can be a stable financing partner for many companies, especially in economically challenging times. The two guest speakers Wolfgang Reiser (CEO of BNP Paribas Factor Germany) and Simon Hörster (Client Relationship Manager & Sustainable Business Ambassador at BNP Paribas Factor Germany) will explain what this can look like in concrete terms.
