Geopolitical risk: Around the world in 30 minutesThis presentation will give you a region-by-region overview of geopolitical risk, covering MENA, Sub Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia and CEE/CIS.2016 has been almost unprecedented in terms of political risk, from heightened security threats across Europe to conflict in the Middle East. As we move into 2017 alerts are still high. In what’s been termed a “Geopolitical Recession,” the USA seems to be all but renouncing its position as the linchpin of the global economy and the European Union in the midst of an existential crisis. The flipside of the populism coin is hitting the Middle East and Southern Africa, where increased access to online and social media threatens the stability of opaque governance regimes. So, what’s the outlook and how can you prepare yourselves to withstand it?Robert Besseling, CEO, ExxAfrica

Reconsidering alternative financeAlternative financiers are often seen as doing the deals that banks can’t do – whether the ticket size is too small, the market too risky, the regulatory stakes too high, or the client unknown – and who’s filling that gap. But is that the best way of viewing the offering or is it time to redraw the paradigm?Joseph Israel, VP Investment Team, Reuben BrothersElmar Diener, Managing Partner, Vicenda GroupMichel Salden, Senior Portfolio Manager, Vontobel Asset ManagementNabil Abdul-Massih, CEO, INOKS CapitalAdrian Katz, CEO, FinacityModerator: Suresh Advani, Head of Trade Finance, Insurecap

Why are corporates using supply chain finance?This session marks the 4th instalment of the ground-breaking research between Orbian and EBS Business School. It will look both at the factors that influence new corporates to onboard supply chain finance and how seasoned users are extending the roll-out of the productTom Dunn, Chairman, OrbianDavid Wuttke, Assistant Professor, EBS Business School

TRADE & SUPPLY CHAIN TREASURY & CASH MANAGEMENT

Is CPRI a bright spot in a challenging environment?As the insurance market begins to mature in Europe, it’s time to take stock of the situation. What are the drivers behind usage of credit and political risk insurance – from capital management to a heightened risk sensitivity? What’s obstructing its further growth? How could the product be improved?James Esdaile, Director, BPL GlobalVlad Bobko, Head of Crisis Management, AonWilliam Steeds, Senior Underwriter, XL Catlin

Data-driven complianceEfforts are badly needed to align corporates’ and banks’ expectations for KYC/AML due diligence process in line with one another. To what extent can comprehensive data gathering and analysis aid this process, and what is still to be done?Alexander Huetink, Business Development Manager, Bureau van DijkPeter Köck, VP Finance and Treasury, VA Intertrading

Best practices in risk and working capital managementAn open forum on how to handle risk and increase efficiencyFrom FX in a volatile market to liquidity lines, managing risk is a core treasury focus and yet, according to a recent Treasury Diagnostic Report from Citi, most corporates’ risk management programmes are not sufficiently nuanced. So what tools are corporates using to hedge their portfolios and how can they be improved? How can tools like supply chain and receivables finance improve cashflow across the supply chain?Ion Sclifos, Group Treasurer, Orange Romania

FinTech’s Got Talent?Navigating the wide array of FinTechs and their products can often prove challenging for corporates and banks alike. This session invites innovators in FinTech to pitch their products to a panel of trade and commodity finance experts. As well as giving product exposure for the FinTech companies, it allows attendees to gain an in depth insight into the latest products on the marketExpert panellists:Peder Broms, Manager Structured Trade Finance, SCCFNicolas Brand, Partner, LakestarJean Craven, Director, Export Trading Group

Coffee & networking

Chairman’s closing remarksJonathan Bell, Editor-in-Chief, TXF
