Room 1 14:45 Room 1 Alternative Finance: An overview of the receivables finance market × The downturn in global commodity markets in 2016 and the rise in regulatory pressure has inevitably led to greater de-risking by structured trade finance banks. The need for alternative financing sources has never been greater. This session provides a practical insight into trade receivables financing as a source of liquidity and the different products which are available in this market. From securitization to forfaiting, from factoring to supply chain finance, which products are appropriate for which companies?

Room 1 15:30 Room 1 Risk Mitigation: The evolving role of the CPRI market × There is an increasing trend to ensure a harmonious management of physical and financial supply chains. On the physical side, and in light of various high profile shortcomings, what options do companies have when looking to mitigate their risks? Are there new tools at their disposal to enable them to do so? How effectively is the private insurance market operating today and where is it adding most value? Is there enough capacity and risk appetite in the private insurance market to satisfy demand? How is the CPRI market supporting the return of banks into the market? How are insurance product offerings changing to cater to an evolving and complex market.

Room 2 15:30 Room 2 Idea Lab: Building sustainable commodity supply chains × The sustainability of commodity supply chains is an increasingly important topic as companies face pressure from public interest groups, institutional investors and ratings agencies. Whilst industry initiatives have been implemented, many have missed the mark and some are outdated. This session looks at how all parties in a supply chain – from corporates and financiers to regulatory and certification bodies – can better collaborate to strengthen transparency and sustainability standards.
