Exile’s Managing Director, and the first ever producer of TXF Global Commodities, Hesham Zakai, welcomes guests with a special 10-year anniversary opening remarks
To kick off the 10 year anniversary of TXF Global Commodities, Trafigura's Chief Economist Saad Rahim will be presenting a global macroeconomic outlook, and how this is expected to come into play in the world of commodities. He will then be joined on stage by Kona Haque, Head of Research, and Jean-Francois Lambert, Founder, Lambert Commodities, for a moderated conversation on the macroeconomic themes.
Gathering C-suite spokespeople from the top commodity traders globally, this session gives the limelight to the traders
- How selective can traders currently be in terms of liquidity sources?
- How is the role of traders evolving to become more involved upstream across the metals, energy and softs sectors?
- Is AI beginning to develop in the context of helping traders define trends in relation to, for example, sustainability?
Global demand for mining resources is predicted to soar, but where the relative investment will come from is unclear, and although this sector is critical in the transition, it continues to struggle when it comes to sustainability credentials
With new regulations such as the corporate sustainability due diligence directive coming into play in Europe, and traders wanting to apply this throughout their global supply chains, the fragmentation between regions in terms of sustainability-linked regulations is apparent.
Looking beyond the biggest players and central regions in the market, this session gathers the smaller and mid-sized corporates, and those operating in the emerging markets.
The approach to sustainability is becoming increasingly holistic, with more consideration given to entire supply chain rather than a company's immediate and obvious emissions and social sustainability credentials.
- What are the banks, manufacturers, and logistics companies doing to support the decarbonisation of supply chains?
- How are new regulations, such as the EU's Carbon Boarder Adjustment Mechanism and the German Supply Chain Act impacting the commodities sectors, in terms of industrial emissions, and social sustainability, respectively?
- Looking at the circular supply chain, is the industry advancing in terms of recycling/disposal/utilising bi-products?
As yet more deals are closed between ECA’s and commodity traders, we hear from the dealmakers themselves on why the export finance market is becoming increasingly appealing as a borrowing tool, and the ECAs outline their requirements from traders.
From emission tracking to emission reduction to offsetting, carbon is a hot topic in the commodities industry. This session breaks down the hurdles standing in the way of progression in this space, and what needs to change to make carbon accounting more accessible.
Gathering brokers, underwriters, and customers of CPRI, this session looks at how appetite is shifting amid geopolitical tensions, and other challenges posed to the market.
In terms of claims, gross loss ratios are coming down, and net loss ratios have stabilized. Looking forward, what does this reflect?
How challenging is geopolitical risk when it comes to insuring deals in countries rich in critical metals such as the DRC?
For the banks and traders, how well utilised is CPRI as a product? Could it provide better support?
Although there is a steady buzz around new energies, the level of activity from major traders in these markets is fragmented. This session looks at how the new energies sector can be converted to the mainstream.
What are the growth prospects of new energies such as hydrogen?
Can new energies become as liquid and tradable as crude oil? What’s standing in the way?
Are we close to seeing regulated pricing benchmarks in this area?
This highly anticipated session puts the banking global heads under the spotlight, to give both a broad industry update, and to address some more in-depth topics:
- After some retrenchment from the commodity finance banking space, are banks back in a period of growth? How will the commodities banking landscape take shape in the coming years?
- What expectations do the global heads have when it comes to commodities prices in the near future?
- How are banks positioned in the new regulatory norms amid Basel IV?
Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of TXF Global Commodities, we invite some speakers that attended the early years of this conference. Enhanced by TXF data, this session will examine how the commodities space has evolved over the past decade.
The registration desk will be open for anyone who did not attend day 1. And meanwhile, TXF's side-brand Stages for Change, which champions diversity and inclusivity in the industry, we will be holding a breakfast roundtable to discuss what more can be done to boost equality and diversity in the commodities industry.
To kick off the 10 year anniversary of TXF Global Commodities, independent economist Rebecca Harding will address the political risk of supply chains, tapping into national security strategies and how this impacts sustainability issues, such as food security and climate change.
In this session, we hear from producers across the metals, energy, and agri spaces on how they are tackling the top headwinds and opportunities of 2024.
What ways are producers financing themselves beyond bank financing?
In what ways are the relationships between producers and traders evolving beyond just financial support, and towards logistical/supply chain support?
Africa has some of the world's most valuable deposits of metals and minerals that are needed to drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) globally. Global rivals the US and China, as well as Middle Powers the UAE and Saudi Arabia, are scaling up engagement with African countries to secure access to these resources. What does this mean for African economies and mining sectors? Will there be another wave of resource nationalism? And will global supply chains facilitate this emerging trend?
This session will gather some of the digital providers transforming processes within the commodity trade finance space, alongside bank and corporate customers of digital solutions
- How is the industry continuing to use digitalisation to streamline procedures?
- Could the commodities space take note from any other industries when it comes to innovation/adoption of digital processes?
- Is AI just a buzzword in the pilot stage, or is it already being utilised by the commodities industry?
In celebration of the commodity finance industry, this panel gathers three top deals of the past year, to digest what made them such flying successes, and unpack what the wider industry can learn from them.
