Leading trade finance institutions and global business heads convened in Singapore on September 6-8 for GTR Asia Trade & Treasury Week 2016, the largest trade finance event worldwide.
Held in partnership with IE Singapore, the event, now in its 8th year, welcomed over 900 top-level trade and treasury experts from around the globe, fostering discussion and debate on trade and export priorities across Asia. A strong corporate attendance helped drive discussion towards the funding requirements of exporters, with over 45% of companies attending being either an exporter, importer, distributor or trader.
At the heart of GTR Asia Trade & Treasury Week 2016 was the GTR Asia Trade & Treasury Conference, taking place on September 6-7. International Enterprise Singapore kicked off proceedings with a keynote speech, focusing on efforts to drive Singapore’s next phase of growth as a trading and financing hub, in areas such as alternative financing, digitisation in trade and trade finance, as well as manpower, education and training.
With a variety of formats and 3 streams featuring on both days, the agenda provided great flexibility for attendees, with well over 100 additional speakers taking to the stage. Highlights included breakouts on technology and innovation; regional trends and headwinds; practical advice for trading companies; a corporate treasury workshop; credit and political risk; achieving recovery in the commodity finance sector; a futurist workshop surrounding smart contacts; and Asian Development Bank’s Global Launch and TFP Award Ceremony. Substantial audience participation formed an integral part of the programme, with live audience polling shaping on-stage discussions throughout.
“2016’s expanded focus placed greater emphasis on the issues facing treasurers and the corporate treasury function, as well as highlighting exciting new developments in the fintech space and their potential impact on trade, including initiatives such as blockchain,” said Jeff Ando, Head of Conference Production at GTR. “The expanded format allowed us to look at these new trends whilst still covering the whole spectrum of trade, commodity and export finance that has made this event so popular in previous years.”
Following the main conference, September 8 saw a special supply chain finance workshop take place, providing guidance on supporting corporate customers effectively in light of the changing landscape of fintechs and supply chain finance solutions.
