For corporates and trade financiers looking to make moves in West Africa, GTR‘s West Africa Trade & Export Finance Conference offered the ideal occasion to expand their network, meet their clients and get fresh perspectives from a wide range of trade and export finance experts.

Innovators, leaders and influencers from regional corporates, financial institutions, insurers, lawyers and industry bodies gathered to present a comprehensive overview of the opportunities available across West Africa. With volatile commodity markets still challenging the region’s corporate and financial sectors and geopolitical upheaval around the globe casting uncertainty over foreign investment into Sub-Saharan Africa, an expert-led agenda explored common trends, challenges and solutions within areas such as agribusiness, hard commodities, risk mitigation and infrastructure development.
