Emergency Medical Supply Chain: COVID-19 Response
Challenge
During COVID-19 peak, a consortium of European hospitals needed urgent financing guarantees for critical ventilator imports from Chinese manufacturers. Traditional banks required 3-4 weeks processing time, but hospitals needed equipment within 10 days to handle patient surge.
Solution
GFG structured an emergency $180M letter of credit facility with built-in quality assurance provisions and expedited delivery guarantees. The instrument included contingency clauses for equipment performance standards and included provisions for partial shipment acceptance.
Results
- 1,200 ventilators delivered to 45 hospitals across 8 countries
- Equipment arrived 5 days ahead of critical deadline
- Quality standards exceeded specifications by 15%

- Consortium saved €12M compared to emergency acquisition pricing

Results
- 84 turbines installed and operational 3 months ahead of schedule
- Energy output exceeding projections by 12% in first operational year
- Zero environmental compliance incidents across 30-month construction
