Now in its fourth year, Exporta's Annual Africa Trade & Export Finance Conference in Cape Town is a well-established gathering of only the most senior decision-makers within the Sub-Saharan trade and export sector. 

Rich in resources and with a vast number of natural assets, Africa offers much to a global market affected by high commodity prices and increased demand, with large levels of economic activity across many countries. Moreover, the global liquidity shortage and difficulties faced in securing lines of credit from international investors, coupled with the various regulatory and reform challenges provided by the continent, ensures the need for trade, structured commodity and export finance products to facilitate deals.

Topics to be discussed over the course of the two days will include:

• Reviewing the current economic climate and assessing opportunities and risks
• Generating liquidity to support trade activities in challenging times
• Supply chain management: financing commodity trading through collateral control
• Challenges faced in structuring trade deals across Africa
• Prime opportunities for investment: highlighting key sectors such as agribusiness
• Assessing the role China has played in reshaping Africa's risk and investment landscape Providing legal protection for loans and investment in the region
• Considering the role of multilateral agencies such as DFIs and ECAs in the region
