Geopolitical risk: Around the world in 30 minutesThis presentation will give you a region-by-region overview of geopolitical risk, covering MENA, Sub Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia and CEE/CIS.2016 has been almost unprecedented in terms of political risk, from heightened security threats across Europe to conflict in the Middle East. As we move into 2017 alerts are still high. In what’s been termed a “Geopolitical Recession,” the USA seems to be all but renouncing its position as the linchpin of the global economy and the European Union in the midst of an existential crisis. The flipside of the populism coin is hitting the Middle East and Southern Africa, where increased access to online and social media threatens the stability of opaque governance regimes. So, what’s the outlook and how can you prepare yourselves to withstand it?Robert Besseling, CEO, ExxAfrica

Reconsidering alternative financeAlternative financiers are often seen as doing the deals that banks can’t do – whether the ticket size is too small, the market too risky, the regulatory stakes too high, or the client unknown – and who’s filling that gap. But is that the best way of viewing the offering or is it time to redraw the paradigm?Joseph Israel, VP Investment Team, Reuben BrothersElmar Diener, Managing Partner, Vicenda GroupJames Waterman, Head of Trade Finance Europe, Liberty Commodities GroupNabil Abdul-Massih, CEO, INOKS CapitalAdrian Katz, CEO, FinacityModerator: Suresh Advani, Head of Trade Finance, Insurecap
