Asia’s premier trade gathering

For over 12 years, Global Trade Review has offered critical market insights into unparalleled expertise from the world of Asian trade.

Returning to Singapore on September 6-7 for the first time in 3 years, GTR Asia provided the opportunity to hear the world’s leading trade, treasury and fintech experts reflect on the latest developments and rapidly changing dynamics in the context of both the Asian and wider global markets.

With over 1,100 representatives from around 500 companies in attendance, the event provided a highly anticipated opportunity to connect with all corners of the market, from local and international banks to multinational corporations and SMEs, fintechs and alternative financiers, commodity brokers and traders, insurers and risk managers, lawyers, consultants, ECAs, multilaterals and more!

The event enjoyed the support of Asia’s leading financial institutions, government agencies and public bodies, participants will benefit from a range of discussion topics and formats, along with those much missed opportunities for networking, engagement and knowledge sharing.

We hope you join us next year for GTR Asia 2023 on September 5-6, 2023.
