“Very useful conference that allows networking with key companies: a very rare opportunity”MAJID AL BAHRI, Head of Strategic Finance, DUQM Refinery

“Good opportunity for networking”MARTIAL BEAUVALLON, Chief Executive Officer, Taleveras Petroleum Trading DMCC

“If you want to be aware, you’d better be there”GIOVANNI LAVANDA, Director, Export Finance, Credit Suisse

7th - 8th November, The Address Hotel, Downtown Dubai, United Arab EmiratesTwo days, 350 senior experts, unique session formats and you.

Export and Project FinanceBorrowers are looking to fund a plethora of mega energy and infrastructure projects across the region. This has led to a rise in ECA supported finance as low oil price adjustment, geopolitical risk, over exposure and increased regulation has caused a tightness in bank liquidity.

TXF MENA 2017 couldn’t be more pertinent for the 350 SOEs, borrowers, project sponsors, exporters, ECAs, DFIs, SWFs, commercial banks, insurers and lawyers joining us on the 7th & 8th November.

According to TXF Data, the Middle East was also the largest ECA market in 2016/17 while North Africa remains awash with business opportunities.

This is your chance to make the local and international connections that might lead to your next deal. Can you afford to ignore such a profitable region?

Trade and Commodity FinanceTrade finance is undergoing significant changes today. Emerging technology, coupled with the fall of correspondent banking networks, creates gaps in the market and new ways in which to plug them. Meanwhile, working capital solutions tailored to the needs of corporates are essential for both corporates and their providers if they are to stay ahead.

Commodity finance throws up an equal array of opportunities and problems for investors. On the one hand, commodity sectors such as agribusiness are an increasingly essential ingredient to support growing populations and traders utilise the UAE as an East-West trade hub. Yet on the other, low commodity prices have put a strain on producers and the availability of structured commodity finance options appear to be diminishing. Can producers, traders and financiers structure a winning balance for all parties?

All attendees receive an annotated report of the results after the eventLaurent Eurin, Head of Export Finance, Asia Middle East and Turkey, Société GénéraleModerator: Laurent Eurin, Head of Export Finance, Asia Middle East and Turkey, Société Générale

Networking Coffee break

Political tension, crisis, security and commercial implications for trade in the Middle EastWhile the Middle East offers unique opportunities for mega projects and trade, ongoing political tensions need to be examined to reduce business risk for investors:• How will the crisis in the GCC play out and what will sanctions mean for trade?• What’s the latest on the confrontation between Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey?• Is energy supply secure? How could elections change the current environment?• Will the situation between Iran and the US escalate, what naval risks does this create?Andreas Carleton-Smith, CEO Middle East, Control Risks

Rise of the Mega Borrower: From first-timers to seasoned expertsWe ask our mixed panel of experienced and first-time ECA borrowers the questions that the industry is keen to understand more about: • Why do they like ECA supported finance? • How does this fit into your wider balance sheet, and what considerations do you make before going ECA?• Is this part of wider trend for years to come, or only applicable to the current landscape? • What instruments of finance will remain attractive to borrowers in MENA?• Do the first-timer users foresee themselves becoming regular users of the tool?John Joseph, Vice President - Finance, Dubai World Trade CentreAli Ayub, Director - Acquisitions & Project Finance, ACWA PowerNeeraj Agrawal, Group CFO, Crescent GroupQaisar M Zaman, General Manager – Invesments, NogaholdingModerator: Richard Evans, Director Export & Agency Finance Treasury & Trade Solutions, Citi

Export & Project Finance Stream - Room 1 Trade Finance Stream – Room 2 Idea Labs – Room 3

Back to the Future: Digitalisation and value of fintechs in trade financeCosts of borrowing can be the difference between sink or swim in the market for many companies, and the efficiencies provided by digitalisation are crucial in costreduction. We look at the roles of fintechs in the banking market, the latest and greatest technologies, and how these ft in with emerging investment tools. Ultimately we ask, what does the future look like, and who will be the dominant forces?Moderator: Mauro Bonacina, Global Trade Market Manager, The Bank of New York Mellon

Routes to finance: The alternative investment question?Bank liquidity is often cited as a stumbling block for growth, which creates exciting opportunities for debt provision from new entrants and alternative investors – not just for the highest rated corporates, but those in the second and third tier too. This panel pools together a mix of liquidity providers and pits them together to ask key questions, from how do we keep the region’s ambitious investment plans afloat, to what gaps need to be bridged to enable a smoother flow of non-bank investment in trade finance?Moderator: Maninder Bhandari, Director, Derby Group

Innovation in trade & supply chain finance in the Middle EastWith supply chain financing growing in the Middle East, and new technologies innovating the trade finance space, crucial considerations need to be take into account, and questions asked:• How can these tools be adapted to be suitable and efficient in a Sharia compliant market? • Is this demand driven? Are the needs of corporates being considered in the face of constant technological innovation?• How successful is supply chain finance as a tool in the Middle East?• Is working capital optimisation benefitting both buyers and suppliers?Rahul Bhushan, Head of Trade Product Management, Standard CharteredHalina Bernard, Treasurer, General Motors Middle East Operations, Dubai UAE

Got your back? The role of private market insuranceAs private trade credit and political risk insurance activity in MENA continues to grow, get the lowdown on which underwriters and brokers are leading the way, and the products available to banks and corporates:• How do the private and public markets collaborate and compete?• What is the PRI risk on key nations and sectors?• What is driving trade credit insurance take up, and how do leading trade credit insurers view the market’s credit and country risk currently?• Is the private insurance market plugging gaps left by the ECAsin North Africa and what is their appetite in some of the lessdeveloped economies in the region?Rachael Anstock, UK Head, Credit & Political Risks, Zurich

Iran: Contentious or the next investment destination? China has led the way in Iranian debt provision, now many ECAs appear to be queuing up to support Iran trade. Will the market be dominated initially by direct loans and which countries are primed for this?• Which sectors of industry will excite the international market first?• How can banks navigate the sanctions process?• Will short term trade finance structures kick start financial support?• Will the Ministry of Finance take on the most active role or will there be scope for Iranian commercial banks to carve a niche?Holger Eger, Director Sales, Ferrostaal Middle East GmbHDavid Meredith, Head of Legal, Hassan Foods, Qatar Investment AuthorityModerator: Peter Luketa, Senior Adviser, Export Finance, Managing Director, CB Advisers

From East to West: Asian investment in MENA• How will Chinese outbound investment and the One Belt One Road initiative continue to play out across MENA? What can be learnt from initial belt projects in Pakistan, and Chinese investment in Iran?• Are Japanese and Korean EPCs leading the way in the Middle East over their Western counterparts? Or is it a level playing field with room for collaboration?• How do OECD rules affect various ECAs active the region and their appetites for projects? Including new coal fired projects in Oman, Dubai and Egypt?Ryo Kuwahara, Representative for the Middle East, JBICModerator: Tim Lamey, Head, Export Finance, EMEA, Mizuho

Promises from MENA: ECA leaders’ perspectivesThis session gathers leaders of the most active ECAs across MENA, to discuss their plans for liquidity provision and ECA cover, by region and sector, and how they can support home grown manufactures in this fast-growing marketEdna Schoene, Member of the Board, Euler Hermes YoungKee KIM, Director General, KEXIMRichard Simon-Lewis, Head of Civil, Infrastructure & Energy & International Business Development, UK Export FinanceMarco Ferioli, Head of UAE, Middle East and Africa, SACEModerator: Ed Bullen, Managing Director Co-Head Structured Export Finance, Sumitomo itsui Banking Corporation (SMBC)

Golden touch: Sovereign debt and government borrowers panelThis session gathers regional DMOs to assess their investment requirements and plans to finance these:• How are they looking to finance large government capital projects?• How relevant are project specific products? The ECA product?• What projects are in the pipeline and where are the opportunities for the international community be involved?Paul Norris, Head of Infrastructure, Debt Management Office, Abu Dhabi Department of FinanceTom Koczwara, Head of Debt Management Office, Government of SharjahModerator: Manav Futani, Head of Export Finance MENA, HSBC

Sovereign Wealth Funds and infrastructure finance – a perfect romance?A key enabler of projects, we gather leading SWFs to debate:• The evolution of the role of sovereign wealth and pension funds in infrastructure• The political and economic implications – how have we moved on from the Dubai Ports headlines almost a decade ago?• The next frontier for infrastructure – where are the opportunities?• What projects are in the pipeline and where are thee opportunities for international companies to be involved?Kelly Thomson, Executive Director, Head of Structured Finance and Capital Markets, MubadalaModerator: Rachel Pether, Advisor, Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute

Export & Project Finance Stream - Room 1 Trade Finance Stream – Room 2 Idea Labs – Room 3

Ensuring liquidity in an era of geopolitical risk and bank consolidationBanks have exerted greater selectivity in how they are dispensing their liquidity in the Middle East market due to the low oil price adjustment, geopolitical risk and associated issues. This session examines the trade finance market, the role of international and regional banks, alternative financiers and where pockets of liquidity will come from. How can insurance products enhance liquidity in the market? What is the role of technology? How can we optimise trade finance for short-term working capital? Will bank consolidation provide a balance sheet solution?

Stayin’ Alive: Financing health water & sanitation projectsContinued low oil prices have contributed to a pre-existing regional trend: the Middle East’s ambition to reinvest in their infrastructure in order to modernise their nations with a greater sustainability edge. This session looks at the crucial human component; health, water, sanitation and how we can finance theseMartin Bradley, CFO, BeeahLabib Othman, Medical Equipment Division Manager, Gulf Drug LLCModerator: Jan von Allwoerden, Head of Department Underwriting, Euler Hermes

Riding the wave of ECA interest: Global exporters panel With huge borrowers showing increased interest and appetite for ECA finance, and first time ECA borrowers entering the market, our international panel of exporters share their views on MENA:• How is the ECA product working for the borrowers and SOEs they are exporting to? What can be tweaked? • What can ECAs do to better help these exporters boost their flow of goods?• Which sectors are seeing the most demand? Is this a long term trend?• Are OECD rules preventing exporters from competing for new projects in coal fired power?• With renewables and sustainability a goal for Middle Eastern countries, who is leading the charge with clean and green technologies?Yoshinori Utaka, CEO & Director, Middle East & Africa, Mitsui & CoImran Saeed, Senior Executive Vice President, Siemens UAEUmer Ahmad, Vice President, Investment Development, SNC-Lavalin CapitalModerator: Faruq Muhammad, MD, Head Europe, Middle East & Africa, Structured Export Finance, Standard Chartered

Coffee break

End & networking drinks

Hosting the opportunity: Financing the UAEs massive infrastructure demandsPower, water and transportation infrastructure projects are at the core of investment across the UAE. In our host city, Expo 2020 Dubai is within touching distance. The demand on transport infrastructure from millions of projected visitors has created exciting circumstances for EPC contractors, financiers and the international community, and a $10 billion market exists in the next 12 months through mega projects including the Dubai Metro, Airport and EXPO 2020 alone. We explore how the UAEs projected infrastructure landscape can be financed, and what lessons can be learnt from the last few years of investment in the region.Simon Lee, Managing Director, Credit Agricole CIB

Agenda - Day 2

Chairman’s opening remarksJonathan Bell, Editor in Chief, TXF

Going with the flow: Downstream refining, petrochemical and associated projects• With limited new low cost feedstock, can refinery integration work as a means to develop further projects in the region?• Are Rabigh and Sadara templates for developing integrated complexes in the region, and what can be learnt from structuring these mega project?• In the aftermath of Liwa Plastics, what’s next for Oman?• What impact will Iranian developments have on exporters in the region?Amer Aljabri, General Manager Finance, Oman Gas CompanyModerator: Alastair Hensman, Vice President, Energy & Chemicals Advisory, Nexant 7

Islamic finance & the DFI mandate: Funding hard to reach projects in the region Key Islamic finance vehicles and DFIs come together to discuss how they make projects in North Africa, Iraq and other less ‘hot’ investor destinations bankable. Is there scope for ECA collaboration? Are syndications between DFIs, Islamic financiers and ECAs to provide additional liquidity possible? What is the effect of sustainable finance initiatives, Sharia compliance and OECD consensus on project selection?

Unlocking new frontiers: Challenges, risks and opportunities in Egypt and the Maghreb• Is Egypt on a sustainable path to economic recovery on the back of a massive IMF program, sweeping economic and currency reforms, and a potential gas boom? • What are the opportunities inherent in Morocco’s plans to invest in sub-Saharan Africa, including in the banking sector, mining, and construction? • What political and socio-economic trends will underpin the Maghreb’s success over the next few years? To what extent will political and security risks in the region impact business activity? Dr. Robert Besseling, Executive Director, EXX Africa

Going green? Leveraging ECA support to unlock renewable projectsWith many wind and solar projects taking place across MENA, this session allows you to understand how ECA support is an essential factor in closing “first of a kind” financings. You will hear from recent case studies to learn best practices to achieve a successful and efficient financial close; as well as getting the lowdown from ECAs, project sponsors and manufacturers active in the regionChristos Mimikopoulos, Executive Director, Etihad EscoModerator: John Dewar, Partner, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy

‘I’ is for Innovation: How can the export credit industry work together to drive change? • Seizing the opportunity, how can we better support exports by driving change?• Bureaucracy or creativity? How quickly can ECAs adapt? • Who will be the forerunners?

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – primed for the ECA market?Saudi Arabia has recently been promised as the next frontier for huge swathes of ECA investment, especially in the face of Saudi Vision 2030. We examine what’s happening, and if the promise will deliver in its entirety:• With privatisation of utilities will sovereign borrowers lead the way? Or will this be a private sector market?• What can be learnt from PPPs including the metros in Jeddah, Mecca, and Medina? Is this model able to be inclusive of ECA finance?• Is ECA finance relevant for Saudi flagship industrial GoEs such as Sabic & Aramco ? Under which conditions and for what kind of capex ? What can be deemed from JV mega projects such as Sadara?• Beyond that, is this a market for ECAs? Solar projects have seen activity, can we use this a template? What opportunities are presented by Saudi vision 2030?• What role can PIF and the domestic banking market could play in this field?Ali Ayub, Director - Acquisitions & Project Finance, ACWA PowerModerator: Véronique de Blic, Head of Export Finance Europe, Middle East & Africa, BNP Paribas

Maximising ECA eligibility from project definition through to final completionMaximising the amount of ECA financing for a project in its early stages is notoriously difcult, while maintaining ECA eligibility during execution may be even harder. This presentationlays outthe challenges projects face in this regard. Using actual case studies, we outline innovative approaches to maximising and maintaining ECA financing eligibility – which willultimately have balance sheet benefits for the borrower.Francisco Anzola, Principal, CC Solutions

Networking Lunch

Why TXF?The need to come together, discuss, innovate and find new projects is very real in this market; one where borrowers are in abundance. TXF are specialists in this sector and our flagship MENA conference will ensure:

- Small breakout sessions, idea labs and invitation-only meetings by region & sector

- Innovative session concepts grounded in actual deal-making scenarios

- Networking drinks receptions, breakfast briefings, lunches, a concierge service and much more

Deal or No Deal: Middle EastA TXF favourite, this innovative session sees panellists going through a series of hypothetical deal proposals for Middle East transactions, discussing their various merits and challenges, and then concluding by answering two questions:

1) Whether they would do each of the deals?

2) How they would price each of the deals?

The audience will then get to vote on whether or not they agree with the panellists. The idea is to give the audience a dynamic insight into the deal making process while having an informative discussion on key structuring aspects and components tooRodolphe de Lambertye, Executive Director Head of Strategy and Business Origination, Export & Agency Finance, Banco Santander S.A

Chairman’s closing remarksWe wrap up with key takeaways of the last 2 days, and bid you farewell until we meet again at our next conferenceJonathan Bell, Editor in Chief, TXF

From here to Mars and back again: Future tech 101With Elon Musk pioneering the way we travel and the limits to what we can explore, this session looks at the financing opportunities around future technologies:• How will autonomous cars change the demand for transport infrastructure? How will Hyperloop one reinvent trade and travel across the UAE?• The new space race, how will the Emirates Mars mission pan out?• What new technological innovations are waiting in the wings? How do we finance these?

“Everything makes much more sense now! Thanks again for the useful, practical and on-point training session.”

“Practical ECA financing course, highly recommended for Project and Export finance practitioners.”

“Very useful course. I can say this is the best course I have ever attended”

Samuel MugoyaHead, Syndications & Specialised FinanceAfreximbank

Here are a few reasons, you should consider attending:1. You will be learning in a small group. We restrict the number of attendees on our courses so that they present a uniquely intimate networking opportunity. And you get more time to pick our course leaders’ brains...

2. You get up to date content, including specific guidance for the region and an afternoon with a guest speaker from the local ECA

3. You will have the chance to work closely with deal-makers active in the region during our group work sessions. Not only does it help to put the theory into practice but it’s an opportunity to discover the concerns of your clients and competitors

4. You get to take away extensive course documentation to help you put what you have learnt into action. Out of the classroom and into the office

5. You can ask questions of our course leaders at any time. Francisco and Valerie have 50+ years of combined experience to share and they don’t mind interruptions

6. You’ll receive a certificate upon completion of your online exam (which you can take multiple times to test your knowledge)

How well do you understand ECA finance? It can be a really complicated topic. Thankfully we’re running an ECA Finance training course for two days preceding TXF MENA with CC Solutions.
