The world’s largest international gathering for the trade, commodity, fintech and treasury community… and growing every year!

GTR Asia 2019 (formerly known as Asia Trade & Treasury Week) returned to Singapore September 3-4, 2019. Recognised as the world’s largest international gathering for the trade, commodity, fintech and treasury community, GTR’s annual event in Singapore welcomed a record-breaking number of industry participants from local and international banks to multinational corporations and SMEs, independent financiers, commodity brokers and traders, insurers and risk managers, lawyers, consultants, ECAs and multilaterals and more!

This year participants had the chance to hear over 100 of the world’s leading trade, treasury and fintech experts reflecting on developments in the Asian market and more globally, whilst also having the chance to network and discuss trade priorities with over 500 different companies.

Delegates also benefited from the use of multiple streams with coverage at the event focused on a range of topics and markets. A variety of formats (breakouts, workshops, debates, formal launches, speed-networking) provided excellent opportunities for engagement and knowledge sharing.

The event once again enjoyed unrivalled support from local government organisations and public bodies, as well as the world’s leading financial institutions.
