TXF Amsterdam 2017 | TRADE AND EXPORT FINANCE | 10 May 2017 | DelaMAr, Netherlands

After three knockout years, the TXF Commodity Circus is returning to Amsterdam for a fourth show, and it’s going to be better than ever.

2016 threw surprise after surprise at the market – so what can we expect for 2017? Will the recent pickup in oil, metal ores and coal continue? Will interest rates continue to rise? How should we interpret the wave of high-profile departures from commodity banks? Pricing volatility in hard commodities and unpredictable climate events affecting softs both foster an environment of uncertainty. Not to mention the political upheavals across the globe…So the question on everybody’s lips is: in volatile times, how can you stay ahead of the game?

TXF Amsterdam will cover all the key topics, including:

Markets and segments still showing growth
Analysis of the whole financing spectrum: what’s available, for whom, and at what price?
Who’s faring well and who’s struggling in the current environment?
Tools for increasing efficiency across the supply chain – both physical and financial
New technologies, from monitoring shipments, to combatting fraud, to reducing admin burdens
