7th Annual Saudi Trade Finance Summit 2019 | Saudi Vision Domains | 1 November 2019 | TBA, Riyadh, KSA

ENABLING THE KINGDOM'S VISION FOR A BETTER FUTURE
With the amount of transformation that is underway in Saudi Arabia to implement wide-ranging economic and social reforms, growth is expected to pick-up this year as considerable progress has been made last year in improving the overall business climate in the Kingdom.

Facilitation of trade has always been an integral part of GCC’s economy, especially in the Kingdom. As global trade market is evolving continuously, appropriate trade related products and solutions evolved with it.

Keeping this in mind, to bridge the gap between corporates and the financial institutions, we initiated the Saudi Trade Finance summit half a decade ago, which over years have earned a firm reputation and a strong foothold as the Kingdom’s most exclusive and only trade finance gathering that brings together key stakeholders including Government and Regulatory Authorities, Financial Institutions, Technology providers, Trade Credit Insurers, Supply Chain Financers and Alternate Financiers together along with top financial decision makers in Saudi Arabia to discuss trade finance regulations, strategies and trends shaping the Kingdom’s economy through trade.

Saudi Trade Finance Summit’s journey started in 2013 with a successful launch in Riyadh laying a strong foundation for a platform to facilitate trade finance discussions in the Kingdom. The first three editions of the summit took place in the capital city of Riyadh successfully followed by the fourth edition in the commercial city of Jeddah and the fifth edition at the export hub – Al Khobar with overwhelming response.

In line with Saudi's Vision 2030, the 6th edition of the summit returns to Riyadh and vows to enable thought provoking trade finance conversations through its informative conference sessions and unparalleled networking opportunities that emphasize on the diversification of the economy to help realize the role of financial institutions and corporates in achieving the Kingdom’s Vision through sustainable growth.
