Exporta Group, the global financial services information provider, is delighted to return to Jakarta for the 3rd Annual Indonesia Trade & Commodity Finance Conference, which will be taking place at the Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta on May 7, 2013.
This comprehensive one-day conference will open with a keynote address by Noke Kiroyan, Chairman of the ICC Indonesia. He will address the importance and mutual benefit of Indonesia opening its market to the global trade community as well as the role of commodities in shaping the macroeconomic landscape.
As the biggest trade and commodity finance gathering in Indonesia, the conference will bring together decision makers from some of the country’s biggest corporate players to give their unique insights into today’s market. The event will also attract many local and international delegates from the banking and financial services sectors to discuss liquidity challenges, corporate demand for capital, opportunities and challenges within the commodities markets, the impact of changing global trade flows and specific industry case studies.
“Indonesia’s economy continues to attract attention, despite significant global challenges, with opportunities abound in many sectors,” says the conference producer, Paul Greetham. “With international trade flows developing at an unprecedented rate, the conference is well timed to tackle key market issues and illustrate current commodity trends.”
Margaret Tjahjono, Head of Trade Product Management at Bank Danamon, further explains, “An unprecedented boom in agribusiness products materialised in early 2013. This illustrates, along with the rise of soya production in 2012, that Indonesia is realising its domestic potential and has become one of the biggest regional producers of soft commodities. With the slowdown in the US and European markets, this huge domestic demand is acting as a balancing factor as well as a lucrative export destination for neighbouring countries.”
Tjahjono adds: “Having Exporta’s annual Indonesia Trade & Commodity Conference is ideal for commodity players and all those providing an essential supporting role. This leading industry event enables the market to see how commodities are playing a vital part within the development of Indonesia.”
With so many high-level delegates in attendance, networking will be a key feature throughout the conference. With numerous networking breaks there will be ample opportunity for anyone serious about doing business in Indonesia to create new business contacts and build relationships with the foremost market actors.
“The annual Indonesia Trade & Commodity Finance Conference has rightly become a key fixture within the Exporta Asia calendar,” says Rupert Sayer, CEO of Exporta Asia. “Many delegates and supporters return year after year and have helped develop this key industry gathering into a hotbed of contemporary discussion and unrivalled networking. We look forward to facilitating business in the country and region for many years to come.”
The conference welcomes support from leading institutions, such as Bank Danamon, BII Maybank, ANZ and Codix. The event is proud to have institutional partnerships with the ICC Indonesia, British Chamber of Commerce Indonesia, Indonesia Australia Business Council (IABC), ICISA and the Berne Union.
