The convention aims to support the digitalisation of trade documentation and improve the efficiency of cross-border transactions by establishing a harmonised legal framework for electronic negotiable cargo documents. Ghana Shippers’ Authority CEO Professor Ransford Gyampo highlighted the importance of the convention in reducing delays, administrative costs, and fraud risks associated with paper-based trade documentation, and in creating opportunities for reduced documentation-related delays, improved transaction efficiency, and facilitated access to trade finance.",
