Overview & Testimonials
TXF Middle East 2016
Trade, Export & Project Finance
Nov 9 - Nov 10, 2016
United Arab Emirates
TXF landed in Dubai!
Although in the midst of a liquidity crunch with low commodity prices and geopolitical uncertainty, the region remains a rising trade hub, not only offering a trade corridor into Africa, but also bridging the East with the West.
In fact, according to TXF Data, the Middle East was the only region in to show substantial year on year growth in export finance deal volumes.
TXF Middle East 2016 explored two key pillars of trade in this context:
Export & Project Finance
Trade & Commodity Finance
Through our streamed approach, running parallel sessions simultaneously, TXF Middle East offered all guests the chance to assess the market’s opportunities and challenges at this senior-level gathering. Guests were able to choose the stream that they want to sit in at any time and make the most of a tailor-made programme!
We had excellent speakers, corporate-focused content, real-life case studies, and best practice tips for all market participants.
