Returning to Cape Town for its 11th year, the market’s premier pan-African trade finance gathering will take place at The Westin on March 9-10.

Now also incorporating GTR’s West Africa Trade & Export Finance Conference, for increased coverage on developments in key markets such as Nigeria, Ghana and the Francophone region, the event will focus on the extensive trade, export, commodity and infrastructure financing opportunities available across the continent, providing unrivalled access to those companies and institutions currently doing business in Africa, including regional and global corporates, financiers and trade specialists.

GTR’s ties to the market’s primary trade bodies, regulators and institutions allows on-stage discussion to focus on the latest challenges being experienced by those involved in African trade, as well as highlighting potential opportunities in a number of key countries and sectors.

“An important annual gathering of key players in Africa. The trade and export finance content and networking opportunities make this a worthwhile conference to attend.”

09.15 Chairman’s address: Advancing in Africa and building growth within African economiesPeter Ndoro, Journalist & Broadcaster●● Getting businesses working with government and other stakeholders to create a competitive and attractive economic environment

With 2016 having been a seismic year for major global events, whether it be the UK’s referendum on Brexit or the US political elections, many feel that 2017 will be the year that sees the consequences of these actions fully revealed across the globe. This session will consider the following:●● Will Sub-Saharan Africa be the beneficiary of a ‘pivot to the Commonwealth’ in the UK’s trade policy?

●● Is Africa likely to be able to provide the reciprocity that the new US administration is likely to need?

●● Foreign investment: How successful have industrial reform initiatives such as Operation Phakisa proved in attracting new strategic partners?

●● How significant are such developments likely to prove in Africa’s own elections in 2017?

●● Examining the emerging class of home-grown Sub-Saharan African MNCs, sharing insights for other African companies on how to expand effectively and maximise development impact

●● How important is it to form partnerships with local companies as a way of navigating local business climates? To what extent can a partnership-based approach help in overcoming economic, political and regulatory uncertainty when doing business in Africa?

●● Building a strong knowledge base, developing on-the-ground operational capacity and conducting research on expanding into new markets: Can pilot projects prove useful in this?

●● Companies identifying how their core business activities contribute to local economic development - introducing new goods or services, training the local workforce

●● To what extent does a lack of relevant, timely and detailed market information in Africa make due diligence and monitoring difficult? How crucial is it to understand sector-specific dynamics?

●● Getting a broad perspective on the market by meeting with government, business community, industry groups, banks, lending institutions - regulatory regimes, corruption, low education levels and lack of workforce skills, poor infrastructure in transport, communications and energy

Agenda Day 1: Thursday, March 9, 2017

What do they need across Africa?Moderator: Gabriel Buck, Managing Director, GKB VenturesPhetolo Ramosebudi, Group Treasurer, TransnetAndre Pillay, Treasurer, Eskom HoldingsPhilip Gildenhuys, Treasury Manager, South African National Roads Agency●● How do current infrastructure needs compare to deficits on capital spending?

●● What are the key priorities for future capex? How are programmes ranked/identified over one another? How much central government intervention/approval is required?

●● What size of programmes often require financing? What key characteristics do they look for? Do banks and ECAs understand what is being asked of them?

●● Are there any unintended consequences of bank regulation being passed on to SOE borrowers?

●● What changes would make life easier for a borrower who needs funding for infrastructure? Is working with a local party key or should they approach you direct?

●● Are we likely to see increasing popularity in public-private partnerships across a range of sectors? Does legislation need to be revised to open up more PPP projects? Which are the priority sectors for these?
