GTR West Africa 2019: West Africa’s leading trade finance gathering returned to Lagos on 25-26 April.

As geopolitical upheaval around the globe casts uncertainty over established trade flows and foreign investment into Sub-Saharan Africa, innovators, business leaders and influencers from regional corporates and MNCs, government agencies, financial institutions and industry bodies gathered to present a comprehensive view of trade and infrastructure financing opportunities across the West African region. Key government actors and regulators, financiers and risk management experts explored key regional trade and infrastructure investment trends, financing hurdles and innovative solutions within areas such as commodities trade, manufacturing and agribusiness.

For regional corporates and trade financiers looking to make their next move, GTR’s conference once again proved the ideal platform to expand professional networks and hear cutting-edge perspectives from a wide range of trade and export finance experts.

“GTR West Africa presented significant opportunities latent within Africa to be brought to the fore. Sessions such as this without a doubt puts the pressure on for Africa to hasten its development and integration.”

I Soji-Okusanya, Access Bank

“Gives you an opportunity to meet people who otherwise would have been impossible to reach. A very educational conference, highly recommended for anyone involved in trade.”
