Offering expert opinion and lively debate on economic trends and Egypt’s business landscape, GTR’s Egypt Trade & Export Finance Conference 2016 gathered influential speakers from across the trade finance community, including local and international banks, financiers, leading corporates, lawyers and more.

Featuring an agenda focused on the country’s return to stability, prospects for trade and infrastructure development and sessions geared towards best practice guidance, the conference opened with a keynote from Angus Blair, Founder & President of the Signet Institute and Chief Operating Officer at Pharos Bank.  A day of debate-driven discussion on opportunity hotspots and key business risks concluded with leading speakers providing their verdict on Egypt’s position within the regional trade and investment climate.

Senior business representatives, trade finance professionals and the market’s primary decision makers provided their opinion and exchanged advice, not only during on-stage presentations but also during the regular networking breaks, making this conference a key platform for anyone looking to develop trade relationships in Egypt and clearly an event not to be missed.
