The GTR+ MEA Awards recognise the institutions shaping the trade finance landscape across the Middle East and Africa

For the first time, these awards will be decided by a people’s vote, giving the market a direct voice in celebrating leadership, innovation and impact across the region. Rather than being submission based, voting will take place via an online ballot.

Voting closes on July 31, 2026
