GTR Commodities, the premier gathering for the global commodity financing sector, returned to Geneva on October 26, 2021.

We welcomed a host of commodity traders, financiers, innovators and policymakers, and once again provided an unrivalled forum for networking and discussion on the key issues emerging during a turbulent time for the commodities market, and commodity financing in particular. Experts reflected on themes including evolving financing priorities and banking sector appetite, new approaches to financial crime risk management, sustainable trade and financing practices, evolving regulatory challenges and the role of technology.
