EBRD TFP Trade Finance Forum 2022 | The EBRD | 20 September 2022 | The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul, Suzer Plaza Askerocagi Caddessi, Elmadağ Cd. No:6, 34367 Şişli/İstanbul, Turkey

The aim of the Forum is to discuss key challenges the industry faces, especially in light of the aftermath of the pandemic and the impact of the war on Ukraine, including the food security crisis, digitalisation of trade finance and the role of trade finance in the development of a more sustainable and green world. We will also look at new opportunities in trade finance in the EBRD’s regions of operations and beyond, and provide an excellent networking opportunity.

Thanks to the generous support from our sponsors and partners, we are once again able to offer attendance to the Forum FREE OF CHARGE to our valued TFP partner banks.
