AGENDA GTR AFRICA TRADE & INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE CONFERENCE 2016 WWW.GTREVIEW.COM

Conference Day 1: Wednesday, October 5, 201609.00 Chairman’s opening address: Promoting greater

African trade and investmentRt Hon Mark Simmonds, Former Minister for Africa, Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO)

09.15 A mixed bag? The economic outlook for AfricaRazia Khan, Chief Economist, Africa, Standard Chartered BankEdward George, Head of Group Research, Ecobank

This high-level ‘economist debate’ will provide a comprehensive outlook on Sub-Saharan Africa’s macroeconomic health, following a hugely eventful year. Key talking points will include:●● Do strained financial markets make it more difficult when it comes to African growth forecasts? Has greater success been enjoyed by those prepared to diversify and embrace technology?

●● Addressing concerns over currencies with key countries including South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Zambia all devalued against the dollar

●● Electioneering: With 2016 elections in 16 countries, what does Africa's big year of democracy signal for trade? Are there likely to be any increased security or investment concerns as a result of political instability?

●● With concerns over Brexit, the EU, US elections and China, are we entering an age of increased protectionism when it comes to trade? Does this provide an opportunity for intra-regional trade as a growth driver?

10.05 Does the advent of Brexit and new UK business landscape provide greater opportunities to trade with Africa?Moderator: Rt Hon Mark Simmonds, Former Minister for Africa, Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO)Bob Kottler, Managing Director, Dawnus InternationalPeter Zhang, Managing Director, SinoFortone GroupRavi Sivasubramanian, Director, Trade & Working Capital, Barclays

Few events have dominated the global political and economic landscape in 2016 than the decision taken by the UK electorate to leave the European Union. With Africa’s trade inextricably linked to the UK and with London viewed as a key hub for international business, this session will debate the following:●● To what extent will uncertainty over Brexit impact on African business? Are investors now concerned that African countries will have less access to international capital markets and what is the likely impact on large infrastructure and other projects?

●● Are we likely to see greater emphasis placed on increased trade and cooperation within the Commonwealth? Will the UK be forced to negotiate new trade accords with African countries, or will most existing agreements be left in place? Is this likely to be a lengthy process?

●● With many UK SMEs already said to be engaging in activities away from Europe, does Brexit provide greater opportunities for conducting new business? Is greater support required from the UK government in untying regulation and making this a reality?

●● To what extent is infrastructure investment into Africa the key driver for increased business activity? With increased investment from China on the continent, are we likely to see a new UK-Africa-China trade axis?

●● Is there sufficient understanding of the need to put 'boots on the ground' when moving into new emerging markets? How important is practical experience both of market conditions and the time it takes to get projects underway?

10.55 NETWORKING BREAK

11.35 Where next for key West African markets such as Nigeria and Ghana?Sola David-Borha, Chief Executive Officer, Stanbic IBTC HoldingsBen Boateng, Head of Sales, EMEA, Trade Finance Solutions Europe

Having previously enjoyed the role of Africa's fastest growing economy and source of investment, falling oil prices, political change and security concerns have placed Nigeria firmly in the spotlight, with subsequent concerns over the health of neighbouring Ghana, another previous bright spot. This session will consider:●● To what extent has lack of dollar liquidity, import restrictions and forex controls damaged Nigerian attempts to boost manufacturing and diversify the economy? Has the 2016 budget provided any grounds for optimism? Are investors likely to return any time soon?

●● Do recent agreements showcase China's willingness to assist in developing Nigeria's oil and gas infrastructure? How will proposed new agreements be implemented and financed? Is there still some confusion regarding this?

●● To what extent are improved domestic fuel provisions and power generation levels deemed a priority? Have pledges to overhaul state-owned companies and achieve energy sector reform materialised?

●● As a key trading neighbour, is Ghana being adversely affected by Nigeria's ongoing currency devaluation when it comes to export competition? Is Ghana at risk of similar economic volatility?

Shape the debate!

Audience polling will be used throughout the conference. Have your say and influence on-stage discussions.

AGENDA GTR AFRICA TRADE & INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE CONFERENCE 2016 WWW.GTREVIEW.COM

12.15 Assessing shifts in funding African trade and infrastructureModerator: Rt Hon Mark Simmonds, Former Minister for Africa, Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO)Vernon Darko, President & Founder, Equip XPNicolas Indenkleef, Group Corporate Finance Manager & Africa Business Development, BIA GroupGeert de Jong, Customer Finance Manager, Damen Shipyards Group●● Where are the hotspots for trade and infrastructure-driven transformation at present? Are we seeing greater focus on ‘on the up’ countries such as Senegal and Ethiopia and where is funding coming from?

●● Has the market seen a shift in focus from pure trade finance to projects that can support trade and add value to commodities exported from Africa?

●● How can greater incentives be provided for African banks to issue letters of credit and avalise drafts? Would this optimise additional risk taking capacity from European banks on African counterparts?

●● With many suppliers operating within a fragmented and liquidity-starved market, how can current financing challenges be met? Do companies know where to go and do bankers need to adapt and evolve to provide real added-value products?

13.00 LUNCH

STREAM A

14.20 Closing Africa’s infrastructure gap (as a means to growing trade)Moderator: Gabriel Buck, Managing Director, GKB VenturesMoono Mupotola, Director of NEPAD, Regional Integration & Trade, African Development Bank (AfDB)James Douglass, Partner, Head of Energy & Infrastructure EMEA, King & Wood Mallesons LLPGeorge Kotsovos, Director, Mining, Energy & Infrastructure Finance, Standard Bank

With African infrastructure needs currently $US50 billion short of what is being spent, where can the additional capacity be found? This session will consider the following:●● To what extent do African borrowers (governments, state-owned enterprises, project developers) need to address how best to fund from the options available (loan markets, bonds, export credit agencies)?

●● What are the key considerations for borrowers when looking to obtain funding? (depth of liquidity, tenor length, pricing, foreign exchange, flexibility, credit agency rating)?

●● Does the increasing influence of development finance institutions bring new perspectives in terms of capital, technical expertise and engagement?

●● Do public-private partnerships (PPPs) hold the key to African infrastructure development?

The session will also include project analysis and assessment on some of the most exciting projects taking place across SSA at present (rail projects, dams, Kenya Pipeline, various power initiatives).

15.10 Export credit agencies: What is the depth of risk appetite for Africa?Moderator: Greg Fyfe, Head of Mining, Energy & Infrastructure, Standard BankGuto Davies, Managing Director, Sales & Project Finance, GE CapitalGeoffrey de Mowbray, Chief Executive & Managing Director, Dints International; Co-Chair, British Exporters Association (BExA)Justo Garcia Gil, Director, Structured Finance, HOMT España

This session will provide the option for audience members to discuss the risk appetite for various African countries, with individual countries selected and profiled via public vote. Points for consideration will include:●● What are the primary mechanisms by ECAs for assessing risk across Sub-Saharan Africa? What strategies are ECAs adopting to share risk?

●● Have enquiries for ECAs to undertake projects in Africa increased in the last 12 months? Which sectors are seeing the most interest?

●● How large is the African portfolio segment compared to other regions? Is this expected to grow?

●● Are ECAs being increasingly used to finance the supply chain as well as provide support for large-scale projects?

16.00 NETWORKING BREAK

16.25 Roundtable discussion: Concessional credit supportModerator: Ed Harkins, Head of Export Credit Financing, Fieldstone Private Capital GroupTony Chitty, Director of International Trade Finance, Mabey BridgeNicholas Oliver, Head of Business Development, NMS International Group

The subject of concessional export credit support, or ‘tied aid’, has become a contentious issue across the market. Many feel that concessional lending could play a key role in supporting UK exporters into Africa, but this is not available. Elsewhere, countries such as the Netherlands combine ministerial responsibility for foreign trade and development cooperation, with shared targets of combatting poverty, achieving sustainable growth and ensuring success for companies abroad.

This lively and interactive session will consider the debate from both sides, asking whether countries not using tied aid are putting their exporters at a competitive disadvantage, the benefits of a level playing field and whether tied aid results in aligning aid with the exporter rather than the recipient, driving up pricing due to lack of competition.

“Up to date topics, relevant to the industry.Excellent speakers and ample opportunity fornetworking with peers.”J Apking, PwC

Participants will identify transactions which have recently closed, details will be presented and the audience asked to vote on a range of options.

Followed by evening networking reception

STREAM A

09.05 Chairman’s morning remarksRt Hon Mark Simmonds, Former Minister for Africa, Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO)

09.10 Moving up the value chain in Sub-Saharan AfricaNick Earlam, Chief Executive Officer, Plexus Cotton to be interviewed by Shannon Manders, Editor, Global Trade Review (GTR)

This case study and subsequent interview will highlight the activities and strategies of Plexus Cotton, a UK-based trading company specialising in the cotton industry. Having recently sold its trading operations, Plexus is now placing increased focus on expanding its African operations, increasing the centralisation of its cotton supply chain by building integrated and sustainable value chains for the commodity, from seed development to end product. Discussions will centre around:●● Movement from trading pure commodities to manufacturing and selling clothing in consumer markets

●● Can the company’s Africa model become a template for future sustainable cotton supply?

●● The transformation of traders to vertically-integrated supply chain managers

●● Considering whether all processing sectors in Africa add value?

09.50 Agribusiness: Feeding growth in AfricaModerator: Shannon Manders, Editor, Global Trade Review (GTR)Zee de Gersigny, Chief Executive Officer, Mukaya Impact PartnersEbbe Rabie, Senior Account Executive, Specialty, Price Forbes & PartnersMarc de Hennin, Managing Director, Barak UKGustavo Seco, Head of Structured Trade & Commodity Finance, BMCE Bank International●● Is there money to be made in financing African agribusiness? How do opportunities here compare with the rest of the world? Has there been an increase in risk?

●● With drought impacting crop output, low investment levels and demand for increased imports, how should governments and banks support the sector and help farmers address financing difficulties?

●● Investigating the types of agribusiness finance transactions that the African market is gravitating towards, the benefits of value chain products vs collateralised lending and the importance of access to local currency

●● How can price management be monitored within the value chain? How can crop insurance complement the financing chain?

●● Sustainability: Is there more of a drive to back sustainably produced commodities? How can this be incentivised?

●● Food security in Africa: Despite more than 60 years of NGO input and most African governments putting this at the top of their agendas, why are results still poor? Outside of access to financing, how can potential be reached?
