Euromoney Seminars and Trade Finance Magazine present the 8th Annual Global Commodities Finance Conference.
The must-attend event for the commodities finance community is back for its 8th year offering unparalleled networking opportunities and the most esteemed line-up of speakers.

- The Annual Global Heads panel: Are banks ready to cope with the increasing demand for credit facilities?
- Is China still the market driver for demand induced growth?
