Conference Highlights

Presentation – Supply chain finance ecosystem: How is Asia adopting SCF in comparison to the rest of the world?
The presentation will focus on the evolution of Supply Chain Finance in Asia versus globally, considering the needs and expectations of clients and the evolving propositions of banks and SCF providers, in the changing landscape:

The main drivers behind the fast-paced growth of SCF – globally and Asian market
How has SCF market developed in the last year
Role of technology enabling growth
The challenges in deploying SCF programmes around the world
Market disruption in SCF and financing of international trade.

Panel Discussion – The impact of protectionism on the physical supply chain: How can businesses address the consequences of a trade war?
The dramatic increase in protectionism over the last year, leading to the prospect of an all-out trade war between major economies, has the potential to cause significant disruption to supply chains anchored across Asia. How can exporters in Asia stay competitive and combat the risk that their customers in the west, particularly in the USA, adopt on-shoring or near-shoring strategies, switching sourcing to suppliers that are closer to their own manufacturing base or end-buyers?

The state of play with regard to tariff increases and other non-tariffs barriers globally
The state of SCF in various parts of Asia today
Physical supply chain – The changes in the face of trade friction, what does it mean in terms of SCF rebalancing, who owns the relationship today, how this will change in the view of technology
Financial implication of the change and how SCF addresses those changes
Shift in landscape of supply chain: has the trade war created supply chain opportunities or roadblocks, from a trade finance perspective
Legal implications of the trade war and how SCF participants can mitigate the risk
Can the big banks work it out with the regional and local banks to offer more financing solutions?

Panel Discussion – The corporate treasury aspect of SCF: How are corporate treasurers managing SCF today?
Until recently, many of the processes involved in the supply chain have not been seen as part of the treasurer’s remit. However, as the role of the treasurer has evolved away from being focused simply on cash management to become wider and more strategic, the concerns involved in supply chain finance management, have moved into the treasurer’s arena. The panel will explore:

• What are the objectives of corporate treasury in supply chain finance?
• How have things changed, in the recent past – key factors, considerations, roadblocks, failures and challenges
• How has been the experience of corporate treasurers with respect to “in-house” financing
• Corporate finance strategy – role of Asia, known to be manufacturers of the world, can the current situation bring manufacturing back, closer to home?
• Managing the trade wars and its effects on business
