Despite weakening global demand following the economic downturn it still seems clear that China will continue to drive export growth in Asia, acting as a hub in developing intra-Asian trade as well as an export gateway to the rest of the world.
In these economic conditions, trade and export finance will become a critical tool for effective risk mitigation and a return to stronger structures of old is likely.
This conference will, as it has done for the last 7 years, provide a forum for the trade finance communities of the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to debate the role of structured trade and export finance, the support of export credit agencies (ECAs), and the growing demand for trade and political risk insurance.
Trade Finance Magazine and Euromoney Seminars’ 8th Annual Structured Trade and Export Finance in the Asia-Pacific Conference is the foremost meeting of the major players in the Asia-Pacific region. Domestic and international banks, ECAs, regulators, insurers, commodity producers, major state-owned corporations and multinational corporate importers and exporters will be there to meet with and to discuss the latest developments in trade and export finance, including:
- China’s role as a global sourcing hub
- Facilitating intra-Asian trade and expanding global trade flows
- Export finance developments in Indonesia and Vietnam’s infrastructure sectors
- The role of ECAs in supporting Asia’s growth
- The increasing demand for trade and political risk insurance in Asia
- Structured trade and export finance: Mitigating risk in tough times
Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to hear from and network with the leading authorities in the Asia-Pacific.
