TXF’s Editor-in-chief, Jonathan Bell, rings the opening bell and announces the start of this four day virtual festival of commodity finance. Hear what you can look forward to over the coming days and how you can get involved.
All sessions will be followed by a live Q&A
Commodity Financing has hit the headlines in recent weeks for all the wrong reasons. A series of defaults and fraud allegations has put this traditionally safe asset class into the spotlight. This session aims to take stock of the situation and discuss the importance of risk management and best practice commodity finance. How will the industry react to recent failures and what measures need to be taken to avoid similar situations?

How much of the price drop is linked to Covid-19 and how does the market expect them to normalize? What strategies will smaller energy producers implement to survive? Where is the state of geopolitics, particularly the biggest OPEC members, taking oil supply chains?
