6th Annual Russia & Eurasia Trade & Export Finance

6th Annual Russia & Eurasia Trade & Export Finance Conference

Description

Exporta returns to Moscow in February 2013 for the 6th Annual Russia & Eurasia Trade & Export Finance Conference, where the latest instalment of this long running series will reaffirm its place as the primary industry event for the trade and export finance community across Russia and the wider Eurasian region.

Readdressing the key issues covered at last year’s meeting, the one day conference will also assess the significance of the momentous developments witnessed in the interim. Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation offers renewed promise to producers, traders and financiers, contrasting with the protraction of the Euro Zone debt crisis and resulting raft of downgrades across the wider region. Key issues to be covered at this year’s meeting will include the current risk appetite for Russian trade, examining contemporary deal structures, trends in pricing and foreign currency settlement, changing corporate funding priorities, and assessment of key export sectors.

Attendees will again benefit from an agenda featuring a host of expert speakers from across the full industry spectrum. Exporta’s proven programme formula, including detailed presentations, debate driven panel discussions, and corporate case studies will drill down into the latest issues and opportunities surrounding the financing of the region’s international trade.

As with all Exporta conferences numerous opportunities to connect with old friends and build new relations with industry peers will be built into the programme, and the day’s proceedings will be complemented by an evening networking drinks reception where delegates and speakers can continue lively discussion long into the night. With attendance at 2013’s event expected to reach record levels, join an international delegation of key players from across the trade and export finance community for insight into the latest opportunities and challenges offered by this booming economy.

Topics to be discussed include:

• WTO accession: How is this likely to benefit Russian businesses?
• Addressing the financing priorities of the region’s corporates
• Know your client: The banking perspective on the Russian trade and export finance market
• Updating on corporate export financing requirements
• Exploring opportunities offered by Nordic-Russia trade flows
• Highlighting the prominent export transactions of the last year
• Assessing corporate risk in a challenging market
• Detailing the latest trends in currency settlement and the cost of funding
• Mitigating risk in an increasingly complex global supply chain
