GTR MENA 2025

 

18-19 February 2025

 

Agricultural commodities expert joins panel discussing seizing the African opportunity at the 2025 conference in Dubai 

 

The 2-day conference explores trade trends, challenges and opportunities across the Middle East and North Africa.

The Global Trade Review Middle East and North Africa (GTR MENA) trade and export finance conference returns to Dubai on 18 and 19 February 2025 and will feature Zhann Meyer, Head of Agricultural Commodities: Global Commodity Finance, at Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking (NCIB).

 

Nedbank CIB sponsors GTR MENA 2025

NCIB is proud to announce its silver sponsorship of GTR MENA 2025, the region’s leading content and networking platform for the global trade, export, commodity and supply chain finance community.

CIB’s Zhann Meyer will be part of a panel on the topic of seizing the African opportunity.

‘African banks can add value to the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) partnerships through active collaboration with UAE- and Saudi-based traders and processors that aim to procure agricultural produce from Africa.

‘As long as this is done in a sustainable and responsible manner with local African interests, food and job security in mind, this could strengthen banking and economic relationships between the GCC and Africa,’ says Meyer.

 

About GTR MENA

The annual 2-day conference celebrated its largest ever edition in 2024, hosting a record-breaking 1 136 delegates. In 2025, GTR MENA aims to continue providing high-value networking opportunities where attendees can catch up with industry colleagues, forge new business connections, and meet with expert exhibitors from leading trade service providers across the region.

‘GTR events are an invaluable opportunity to network with the local trade and trade finance community, engage in knowledge sharing and hear first-hand perspectives and thought-provoking discussions from experts active in the industry,’ says Peter Gubbins, Co-founder and CEO of GTR.

 

2025 key discussion themes

  • Leadership, innovation and sustainability: Driving economic growth through empowerment.
  • Diversification, state support and ‘flight to quality’: The commodity financing melting pot.
  • Delivering trade growth: Do banks need to be less cautious?
  • Opening new doors for trade: The corporate perspective.
  • Milestones reached but challenges ahead: How can digital reach the parts others can’t?
  • Is supply chain finance on a downward curve?

 

GTR MENA will give opportunities to connect with all corners of the market, from local and international banks to multinational corporations and SMEs, fintechs and alternative financiers, commodity brokers and traders, insurers and risk managers, lawyers, consultants and more.
