With a desirable annual growth rate of between 5% - 7%, many of the world’s leading banks and private businesses are flocking to the country to establish business lines in one of the most exciting, burgeoning and stable emerging markets in the global trade landscape. A wealth of natural resources, combined with a central geographical position within lucrative Asian south-south trade flows, means Indonesia is likely to sustain its desirable growth rates and the attention of global players.

Marking the importance of local business practices and opportunities, the conference will bring together local and international businesses to give case studies on specific industry deals. The conference will also cover key topics such as the innovation of product development, trade credit insurance, Islamic finance, domestic and regional trade flows as well as how end users of commodity finance are realigning their priorities in light of changing global trade dynamics.
