The Integrated Banking-Supply Chain (IBSC) model is a comprehensive framework designed to enhance the efficiency and resilience of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chains in emerging markets. Emerging markets face challenges such as infrastructural limitations, economic volatility, and limited access to financing. The IBSC model addresses these by integrating banking services with supply chain management, fostering collaboration among stakeholders and leveraging financial instruments to optimize operations. This paper explores the key components and benefits of the IBSC model within the context of FMCG industries in emerging markets. It highlights the significance of collaboration between banks, FMCG companies, suppliers, distributors, and other stakeholders to promote transparency, efficiency, and accountability throughout the supply chain. The model emphasizes tailored financial services such as trade finance, working capital loans, inventory financing, and supply chain financing to meet the unique needs of FMCG businesses in emerging markets. Trade finance facilitates international trade transactions, working capital loans assist in managing day-to-day operations, and supply chain financing mechanisms like factoring and invoice discounting provide liquidity to suppliers and distributors. The IBSC model offers FMCG companies in emerging markets a strategic approach to overcome supply chain management and financing challenges by integrating banking services with supply chain operations, optimizing working capital, reducing financing costs, and improving cash flow management. The model also emphasizes the role of banking in facilitating and optimizing FMCG supply chains through trade finance, working capital financing, and supply chain financing solutions. Banks support FMCG companies in managing supply chain risks and provide technology-enabled platforms to enhance efficiency and transparency. The IBSC model includes key components such as a robust financial infrastructure, digital platforms, integration of banking services with supply chain processes, and collaborative partnerships among stakeholders. Collaboration and stakeholder engagement are essential for the success of the IBSC model, fostering trust, transparency, and shared value creation. Tailored financial services for FMCG companies include working capital financing, trade finance, supply chain financing, and risk management strategies. These services help FMCG companies optimize cash flow, manage risks, and support growth initiatives. Implementation strategies involve understanding client needs, designing customized solutions, and delivering value-added services. Case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of tailored financial services in enhancing business outcomes. The IBSC model offers benefits such as enhanced visibility, liquidity management, risk mitigation, and innovation. It is a transformative approach to financial management and supply chain optimization, enabling FMCG companies to navigate challenges and drive sustainable growth in emerging markets. The model is expected to evolve with continued innovation, regulatory reforms, and sustainability considerations. The IBSC model is recommended for FMCG companies in emerging markets to enhance their competitiveness and resilience.The Integrated Banking-Supply Chain (IBSC) model is a comprehensive framework designed to enhance the efficiency and resilience of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chains in emerging markets.
