Media coverage

 

Overview and outlook – where are we now?

How has the pandemic both changed and highlighted the issue of access to finance for companies? What are banks being asked for? How does the impact of South Africa sub-investment grade, coupled with increased demand in US$ funding, impact the availability of South African banks to fund during this period? Are funding lines being exhausted and is it possible to look beyond just firefighting?

Robert Besseling, Executive Director, EXX Africa

Onyebuchi Memeh, Head of Trade, South Africa & Southern Africa, Transaction Banking, Standard Chartered Bank (SCB)

 

Impact on natural resources: Is the farm still reaching the fork?

What have been the principle pressures placed on the supply and demand of soft commodities? How robust are food supply chains? Is the likely length of the pandemic going to play even more pressure on the importance of sustainability? Will the need to feed the domestic market take priority over exports and who will decide this, producers or governments?

Zhann Meyer, Head of Agricultural Commodities, Nedbank CIB

Louw van Reenen, Chief Executive Officer, Beefmaster

Antonella Da Cunha, Group Risk Manager, Capespan

 

The role of export credit in facing the new normal

What key priorities should ECAs be focused on in this time of crisis? How urgent is the need for banks and ECAs to come together internationally and collaborate on the way forward? Do ECAs need to do more to encourage buyers to continue with new programmes and also to encourage banks to take on new business?

Gabriel Buck, Managing Director, GKB Ventures

Angelica Adamski, Director of the Board, Sweden Africa Chamber of Commerce

 

Panel group summary followed by Q&A

Does Covid 19-based supply chain disruption highlight the need to improve African value chains and reduce barriers to doing business? Will the new normal help or hinder the drive towards more free trade in Africa? With lockdowns and curfews limiting courier services, how important are digital solutions when it comes to ensuring trade documentation reaches counterparties?

Duarte Pedreira, Head of Trade Finance, Crown Agents Bank; Chair, African Regional Committee, ITFA
