09.35 Economist insight: Asia’s trade (and travails)Paul Bloxham, Chief Economist (Australia & New Zealand), HSBC

A backdrop of falling commodity prices, slowdown in China and unrest across a number of leading trade nations has resulted in a somewhat mixed forecast for Asia’s trade prospects. This session will examine:●● Have forecasts of China's slowdown and reduced appetite for trade been exaggerated in terms of regional significance?

●● Where can the Asian trade success stories be found? Do countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines lead the way in terms of growth prospects?

●● What are the main factors holding up implementation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Are we likely to see the gridlock broken?

●● How significant are external global risks such as Brexit and the pending US elections when it comes to Asian trade growth?

Chair: Mark Millar, Author, ‘Global Supply Chain Ecosystems'

14.00 Top tips on managing credit risk (and safeguarding against non-payment)Jacky Hok, Credit & Back Office Manager, Total Marine Fuels

New markets can pose risks for those unprepared, with the single biggest risk being not getting paid. Effective management of credit risk is the first line of defence against such risks. This instructive session will provide the following tips and advice:●● The importance of thorough checks on credit records, particularly new customers

●● Building strong long-term trusted relationships based on clear expectations on both sides

●● Establishing credit limits based on comprehensive financial information and history

●● Ensuring that the credit terms of your sales agreements are clearly defined, well-worded and comprehensive

●● Considering the use of credit/political risk insurance or factoring solutions when deemed suitable

●● Developing a standard process and established routine for handling overdue accounts

14.45 How can exporters and trading companies better leverage their supply chains?Moderator: Sriram Muthukrishnan, Managing Director & Regional Head of Business Development, Global Trade & Receivables Finance Asia-Pacific, HSBCAshish Sethi, Structured Finance, Nokia Solutions & NetworksChristina Li, Head of Supply Chain Finance, Asia, Wells FargoVijay Vashist, Managing Director, Head of Trade & Supply Chain Finance, Group Product Management, DBSAzim Walli, Head of Trade & Supply Chain Finance Products, Transaction Banking Office for Asia & Oceania, BTMU●● Are corporates increasing now looking across the financial supply chain for opportunities to improve processes and unlock trapped cash?

●● How much of a role do corporate financiers have to play in integrating their supply chains into their global financing strategies?

●● What are the key considerations for corporates when look to deploy supply chain solutions? Has the market seen an uptake in suppler finance or receivables financing programmes as a way of stabilising the supply chain?

●● What are the best examples of steps corporates are taking to support their suppliers? At which point do the banks come in? How has this worked in practice during challenging times?

●● In an increasingly fragmented consumer landscape, what measures are companies taking to better manage their inventory? What role does data provision have to play and are sufficient solutions available?

ECAS, TRADE RISKS, STRUCTURED CREDIT AND POLITICAL RISK INSURANCE

Chair: Audrey Zuck, A2Z Risk Services Ltd

14.00 New ideas in the ECA world: Unconventional thinking in a conventional worldDavid Neckar, Product Development Director, Financial Solutions, WillisYasukazu Irino, Head of Singapore Office and Chief Representative for Asia & Oceania, NEXI

This discussion will assess the changing dynamic between export credit agencies and the private insurance market, including:●● How are ECAs evolving to meet new challenges?●● Considering new structures and new mindsets in the market●● Are insurers and reinsurers vying for attention from the ECAs?●● How has the Berne Union adapted and evolved?

14.30 Just how uncertain is the current risk environment?Ludovic Subran, Chief Economist, Euler Hermes

With slowing growth, questions over free trade agreements and now major doubts over the stability of the European Union, the global market is entering a period of unchartered territory, where "the only certainty is uncertainty". Growing instability in Europe, including the Greek crisis, migrant crisis, Brexit and the rise of far-right politics is likely to have far-reaching consequences, with countries such as China likely to seek bilateral relationships rather than negotiating with Brussels, while a spike in the US dollar could see a significant impact on exports. This session will also consider whether we are seeing a lack of faith in globalisation and a return to protectionism, and what this means for the future risk landscape.

14.55 Case-by-case: Structured credit and political risk insuranceModerator: Anthony Palmer, Deputy Chairman, BPL GlobalCheam Hing Lee, Managing Director, Rhodium GroupAndrew Beechey, Head of Global Financial Risks, Asia Pacific, Liberty International UnderwritersPhilipp Merten, Vice-President, Structured Export & Trade Finance, CommerzbankMark Wong, Managing Director, Credit, Political & Security Risks, Asia, JLTBernie de Haldevang, Global Head of Specialty, Sompo Canopius

This session will focus on the structured credit and political risk insurance market and the challenges faced within that segment, assessing the following points:●● Is supply meeting demand or is there a gap between insurer risk appetite and insured demand for risk coverage, particularly for credit

Proceedings will conclude with a quick-fire summary, where participants will be given 30 seconds to summarise a range of key concerns, before asking the audience to vote on whether they feel the trade finance community is becoming increasingly vulnerable to TBML and other forms of financial crime.

16.40 Where can corporates go to find new funding sources?Moderator: Lionel Taylor, Managing Director, Trade Advisory NetworkChristopher Wohlert, Business Leader, Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution FinanceClement Schappler, Chief Risk Officer, EFA GroupGiles Hedley, Client Liaison Officer, Barak Fund ManagementChris Ash, Chief Executive Officer, Trade Finance SolutionsPiyush Gupta, MD & Founder, Riqueza Capital Group

Despite well documented challenges in the global banking space, there has never been greater diversity in the range of financing options available for companies. The question is, how do they choose which options suit them best? This session will provide insight as to the key considerations:●● What are the main risks companies are facing in the current climate? Do firms need to work on improving their risk profiles as a way of gaining access to funding? What are the main drawbacks when looking to finance SMEs?

●● Does responsibility rest with the increasing plethora of new non-bank players when it comes to bridging the finance gap? Have we moved beyond a position of them just taking the deals banks don’t want?

●● How do exporters choose between differing financing options and platforms? What guidance is available and what are the main priorities when assessing a product or solution? Is there the same level of regulatory oversight?

●● To what extent have efforts to provide more choice borne fruit? Is greater help needed in helping companies ‘navigate the maze’? Does greater segmentation make it difficult to know where to look?

●● Does the rise of supply chain finance (and within it a revival in factoring and receivables finance) demonstrate a renewed appetite or merely a reluctance for banks to lend? Are banks looking to take more of a collaborative approach?

INNOVATION BREAKOUT: TECHNOLOGY, FINTECH ANDTHE RISE OF BLOCKCHAIN

Chair: Vivek Ramachandran, Global Head of Product & Propositions, Global Trade & Receivables Finance, HSBC

The last 18 months have seen terms like fintech and blockchain become commonplace within the trade finance and treasury markets, not just from technology operators and new market entrants, but by banks and their clients. This breakout will examine a number of key themes and issues.

Jarno Timmerman, Head of Treasury, South East Asia Pacific, AkzoNobelMeetu Singh, Head of Global Corporate Sales, Transaction Banking Office for Asia & Oceania, BTMU

Changes in technology have played a role in both corporate treasury and bank strategies. This session will consider the following key themes:●● Examining corporate strategies with regards to investment in resources, automation and standardisation processes: What are the benefits? Where are the projects?

●● Considering advances in payment solutions and cashless, comparing with ‘tried and tested’ approaches': How important is it to get the fundamentals in place when undertaking the 'technology journey'?

●● To what degree are corporates and banks embracing ‘big data' to improve process efficiency, gain more accurate information on borrowers and evaluate business performance?

●● How significant are factors such as good infrastructure, availability of banking services, skilled labour force and liberal foreign exchange regulations when it comes to selecting a treasury base?

●● To what extent should companies take into account both their current footprint and future expansion plans, as well as their short-term and longer-term objectives?

●● What are the key advantages Singapore enjoys as a regional treasury centre? What are corporates looking for and how does this compare with other similar hubs across Asia?

●● How do infrastructure investments and financing opportunities in Asia compare to other regions at present? What are the main stumbling blocks for corporates? How are agreements such as TPP expected to impact?
