TXF Singapore 2019
Financing & Insuring Commodities
Mar 5, 2019
Singapore, Singapore
The place for insider information on APAC commodity deals and how to insure them. TXF Singapore returned for its 4th year and this time, it was all about commodity finance. We renewed our focus on sustainability, country risk, access to liquidity and where the local traders see future opportunities.
We introduced new debate sessions where you aired your views with the best and brightest traders, producers, bankers, lawyers and insurers in the industry. Add in case-studies, an oxford style keynote debate and interactive keynote panels and you had yourself a whole day of high-value networking and intimate discussions
The guest list was made up of 60% corporates so there was some very effective networking taking place on the 5th March.
