MORNING PLENARY

09.20 Chairman’s opening remarksGreg Fairlie, Broadcaster, Dubai One

09.30 Keynote opening addressHis Excellency Hani Al Hamli, Secretary General, Dubai Economic Council (DEC)

This opening keynote address will focus on the UAE government’s vision for furthering the region’s role as a leading global trade hub, Dubai’s establishment as a global financial centre and the value of enhancing economic cooperation through effective participation across an extensive range of global markets and new trade flows.

10.00 How have the tremors surrounding global commodity prices resonated across the region?Moderator: Sanjay Sethi, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Signature Agri VenturesJeffrey Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer, Zee Gold DMCCSudhakar Tomar, Managing Director, Hakan AgroParesh Kotecha, Chairman, Richcomm Global Services DMCCAnil Kumar Dudani, Head of Treasury, Dragon OilSonam Kapadia, Executive Director, Head of Corporate Trade Sales & Advisory MENA Wholesale Banking, National Bank of Abu Dhabi●● How have low commodity prices (and oil prices in particular) impacted on government spending when it comes to key projects?

●● Could trade flows be boosted as importers stock up? Has this driven demand for working capital/supply chain finance solutions?

●● What has been the impact on domestic consumption of steel, cement and other commodities?

●● How does the impact on the UAE compare to other markets (such as Saudi Arabia) in light of its strong non-oil economy, foreign exchange reserves and role as a re-export centre?

●● Has the cost of doing business (real estate, relocation costs) gone down as a result of the fall in oil price?

10.50 NETWORKING BREAK

11.30 De-risking and deleveraging: Is MENA trade on the verge of a liquidity crisis?Baris Kalay, Director, Head of Trade Product Sales, CEEMEA, Global Transaction Services, Bank of America Merrill LynchBharat Gupta, Regional Head, Structured Trade Finance, Middle East & Africa, Louis Dreyfus Commodities MEA Trading DMCCYusuf Ali Khan, Head of Trade for Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan & Turkey, Treasury & Trade Solutions, CitiDuncan Preston, Director, Trade Finance, EMEA, Cornerstone Global CommoditiesSanjoe Mathew, Regional Associate Director, Trade, Export & Structured Finance, Huawei Tech●● Are we seeing a sweeping up of liquidity as banks become more concerned about being able to provide sufficient working capital? How big an impact is this likely to have on traditional sectors such as building materials and commodity finance?

●● To what extent has the additional cost of regulation and compliance negatively impacted on the ability of banks to lend? Has this led to some banks being unwilling to undertake certain transactions?

●● Is there likely to be a significant impact on correspondent banking relationships as international FIs focus on core markets? Is there greater dependency on local banks stepping in and are these banks now more sophisticated in their offering?

●● Does alternative finance have am increasing role to play, particularly within the SME sector, and how do the different offerings compare (technology providers/alternative structures/factoring)? Do more institutional investors want to ‘put their money to work’ in trade finance?

●● Do local laws, regulations and financial arbitrage make it easier for alternative finance providers to set up in the region compared to other markets? What are GCC governments doing differently? Is this helpful in light of concerns over bank liquidity?

●● Have concerns over liquidity signalled a potentially increased role for the Islamic trade finance sector? Do Islamic finance providers need to make their offering simpler and more accessible?

“I would like to thank you for organisingthis successful event. It maintained interest

and pace, the attendance was excellentand the discussion topics were veryrelevant and attention grabbing.”

12.15 What are the implications and potential consequences of a return to the fold for Iran?Arash Shahraini, Board Member, Export Guarantee Fund of Iran (EGFI) & Hossein Soltani, Deputy of International Affairs, Stratus Holding Group to be interviewed by Melodie Michel, Deputy Editor, Global Trade Review

With many predicting that sanctions will soon be lifted, Iran has great potential to establish itself as a ‘new’ regional market economy. Benefitting from the world’s fourth largest oil reserves and second largest natural gas reserves, the country’s business environment is viewed as ripe for investment and joint ventures, with a mood of cooperation within government and a keenness to benefit from expertise in sectors such as transportation, telecommunications, technology, real estate and financial services. This session will consider the implications of this and the potential impact on bilateral trade relationships with key partners such as the UAE.

●● How can corporates squeeze the supply chain to generate cash? What role do supplier finance programmes have to play in managing accounts payable and accounts receivables?

●● What more can SMEs do to gain access to credit and are they sufficiently aware of the lending criteria for achieving this? Is SME likely to be better served by local banks? Is more commitment needed from the state to cater to company needs?

●● Are banks looking to utilise lending platforms to better help banks reach out and improve their customer base? Who is responsible for financing the many start-ups being established in the UAE?

15.05 The contemporary treasurer: Bringing business and finance togetherPeter Matza, Engagement Director, Association of Corporate Treasurers

This session will assess the key priorities of the modern corporate treasurer, providing greater understanding of the strategic and operational challenges they face on a daily basis, as well as their role in bringing financial and business strategy together, managing bank and financing relationships, making decisions on corporate investment and controlling the risks within an organisation.

●● How does local bank expertise compare with other markets? Is this an area (structured commodity trade, structuring receivables financing) where internationals have a bigger role to play?

●● Are banks sufficiently equipped in the region to undertake warehouse financing? Is this something that Islamic financial institutions could also play a larger role in?

Are we seeing an increase in solutions incorporating services such as sanctions screening?

●● Is a higher standard of KYC needed in some markets compared to others? How important is it to understand who you are dealing with when it comes to ownership and structure? Do more contracts need to be futureproofed?

●● How significant a role do governments have to play in getting the message across to exporters regarding these issues? Are sanctions now being used as political weapons?

●● Are increased compliance costs taking their toll on banks and corporates, adding to existing over regulations such as Basel III? How can other providers such as insurance companies support trade finance banks, particularly in the detection of fraud?

●● Does there need to be greater harmonisation in compliance standards and does supply meet demand when it comes to expertise and manpower? Should more initiatives be undertaken to help identify genuine trade partners (company licensing, a global registry)?

●● With trade-based money laundering growing in focus, how crucial is it to ensure a discreet AML policy, as well as understanding new threats such as cybercrime?

●● Trade finance processes: Is there growing emphasis on fully automating transactions with third-party partners, most notably in open account financing when you have lots of invoices?

●● Is the process not just about costs and efficiency but also greater visibility? How can solutions be made more affordable for smaller companies? Are we witnessing the ‘democratisation’ of technology?

David Ludlow, Head of International Business Development, UK Export Finance

The MENA region is undergoing a process of economic regeneration when it comes to projects. Falling oil prices cast doubts over large-scale projects such as Dubai Expo 2020 and Qatar 2022, while countries such as Egypt look to boost their traditional income sources through various high profile infrastructure initiatives. This session will consider the various challenges provided, including:●● Are more companies looking for finance lines as a result of regional expansion plans?

can you get involved in projects in sectors such as power and transport?●● What is the demand for Ministry of Finance guarantees or power purchase agreements? Is there sufficient appetite for risk sharing and how do the legal frameworks differ?

Are these flows increasing demand for supply chain finance solutions?

●● With the UAE firmly established as a centre for south-south trade, can the region provide the financial infrastructure needed for the many projects being undertaken in key sectors such as construction and transportation?

●● Are more international banks following their clients by setting up in Dubai? How easy is it to compete against local banks when it comes to issues such as licensing?

●● Is Dubai now the entry point into Sub-Saharan Africa? Have MENA-based banks and corporates been able to take full advantage of the opportunities provided? Are local banks building up appetite to access African trade and are they in it for the long haul?

●● How significant are concerns over China’s growth and the potential impact of economic slowdown? Have these been over-exaggerated?

●● What sort of role does Dubai have to play in initiatives such as the OBOR ‘Silk Road’, as China seeks to create infrastructure networks and expand its economic and political influence in new exports markets such as Pakistan, Central Asia and the former USSR?
