If an EWR is endorsed or is pledged in favour of a bank in the CMC’s record, that bank can provide finance against the EWRThe bank will have the comfort of having the underlying commodity as collateral, which it can take delivery of or sell through PMEX should the need arise; Additionally, the bank will be able to manage the price movement risk through adequate margining, as there will be continuing and transparent price discovery at PMEX 6Bank Financing of Agricultural ProducePakistan Business Council Seminar - Financing to Support "Make in Pakistan"
