Trade Finance Magazine and Euromoney Seminars have a renowned reputation for bringing together industry heads to network and debate at their high-level content driven conferences. The Trade, Commodities and Export Finance Asia Conference in Singapore is a key addition to our established and preeminent portfolio of events across the world.  

This year’s agenda will feature key coverage of the main issues and trends facing the commodities and export finance and market. It will focus on transactional flows as well as structured solutions. In addition also taking in many of the hybrid-type trade transactions within structured trade and so prevalent in and with many of the markets of Asia. Being held in Singapore, the centre of many trade flows going in and out of Asia, the conference is essential for anyone trading or arranging deals with the markets in the region.

Asia is at the centre of the global supply chain for many corporates across the world. Since the global downturn, changes and fluctuations in trade flows have been seen all over the globe. Asia has remained relatively resilient and has weathered the storm well in the global market. As the global economy treads its recovery path, Asia’s promising prospects undoubtedly provide many opportunities for the commodities and export finance sectors going forward.

This conference will be a major networking opportunity for the international trade, commodities and export finance communities to hear from market players and leaders, listen to case studies and focus sessions, and join the debate and essential networking on the future of the industry.
