TXF Africa 2020 | Trade and Export Finance (TXF) | 26 April 2020 | Virtual Event

Returning for a fifth year, TXF Africa is heading back to Abidjan for two content-packed days. We'll bring together a senior delegation of African borrowers, government & exporters alongside international lenders, ECAs, DFIs, MFIs, insurers, law firms, exporters & more.

We are proud that this is a truly local event dedicated to celebrating the opportunities arising from the continent. With populations continuing to increase, the need to electrify rural Africa is more pressing than ever: how can international and local players work together to facilitate this? Rail & road infrastructure remains a ripe market for investment into Africa. Which exemplary projects from 2019 should we seek to emulate in 2020 and the future?

Cote d’Ivoire is the world's largest producer of cashews, and in terms of cocoa, it comes second only to Ghana. How can the region improve local manufacturing facilities to capture value in producing countries? Where have ECAs and DFIs/MFIs taken a collaborative rather than a competitive approach and what are the benefits of doing so? How can we foster further collaboration between all players on an individual deal, and why is this particularly important for Africa?
