The 14th Annual Global Commodities Finance Conference 8 - 9 June 2017 | Euromoney Seminars Ltd. | 8 June 2017 | Geneva, Switzerland

The longest running, definitive event for Commodity Finance leaders returns in 2017 amid the most extreme challenges seen in generations for global trade.

The long established relationships between traders and banks continues to shift, and the market is divided on how banks can optimise their risk profiles and compete in an environment of ever more stringent regulation. With traders increasingly self-originating and facilitating deals amid ongoing sanctions, we ask, how must the traditional relationships adapt to this new reality? Which markets will profit from a protectionist US trade regime, and what opportunities are there for new entrants to the market?
