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

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.

• How are SMEs and emerging market players boosting and integrating their respective value chains between trading and assets?
• How are new regulations, e.g. around shipping and taxes, having an effect on these supply chains?
• What kind of support are the biggest traders supporters offering in support to smaller players in the emerging markets? Is this support evolving beyond liquidity?

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?
