The GTR event is a meeting for bankers, financiers, industry regulators, ECA’s and multilaterals and is one of the largest global trade finance events. The 2017 event is 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 focused 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.
ECIC Head of Business Development, Portia Gumbo Dube, was on the special ECA’s panel discussion under the topic “What role do ECAs have to play in the trade current climate”?
