Having quickly built a reputation as an important annual gathering for global commodity traders, financiers, risk mitigators and other actors involved in commodity trade finance, GTR‘s Commodity Trade Finance Conference returned to Lugano for its third year on October 25.
Providing detailed insight on the condition of the global trading market and the challenges faced in both established and emerging markets, 2016’s event saw a high level delegation converge at the Lugano Convention Centre for a comprehensive one-day gathering, covering topics such as:
- The commodity cycle: Where are we now?
- Back to their roots: New (and old) priorities for trading houses
- Selective hotspots: The Middle East and Central Asia
- Business appetite: How conducive is the environment for trading companies and financiers?
- Deal analysis: The art of structuring
- Energy: Where are the big opportunities?
- Achieving innovation in commodity trade finance
- Live study announcement: Financing the future of commodity trade
With Switzerland being one of the world’s leading commodity trade hubs, the event was ideally placed to cater for those international businesses and trading houses based in and around the region.
