The premier gathering for the global commodity financing sector

Welcoming over 350 participants back to Geneva, GTR Commodities, the premier gathering for the global commodity financing sector, returned on September 20, 2022. This year’s meeting featured an in-depth assessment of the seismic shifts impacting global commodity trade and financing amidst the fall out of the Ukraine invasion and lingering supply chain disruption.

Interactive debate mapped a proactive course through a rapidly evolving trading landscape, identifying growing investment in new geographies to secure goods supply whilst also considering the impact of energy security concerns on the decarbonisation and ‘net-zero’ agenda. Conversation also focused on the need to ensure traders of all sizes have suitable access to financing and the role of technology in enhancing efficiency and transparency, from digitising crucial paper processes to tracking ESG performance.

We look forward to returning to Geneva on September 28, 2023! More details found here!

What others are saying

“The GTR Commodities annual conference in Geneva continued discussions of central importance for commodity trade and finance market participants, and namely the impact of international banking regulation, dubbed by the industry as Basel IV, on access to commodity trade finance, in particular for SMEs. This should become an ongoing topic for discussion.”
