Global Trade Review (GTR) West Africa returns to Lagos in 2023
April 2023 will see the Global Trade Review (GTR) return to Nigeria with the theme “A new dawn: plotting a course for West African trade”. The leading trade and finance industry event will once again bring together the leading minds in trade, supply chain, export and infrastructure financing for two days of unrivalled networking and lively debate.
Amongst the very first significant market gatherings to take place following Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, GTR West Africa 2023 will offer invaluable insights into trends and evolving trade opportunities and financing conditions under Nigeria’s new President and in key markets across West Africa.
The event will include an entire exhibition and allow participants to connect with peers and industry experts.
Once again, Stanbic IBTC will be deeply involved in the event, which will take place at the Eko Convention Center from 26 to 27 April 2023, showing our ongoing commitment to supporting trade and growth in Nigeria, and as a result, Africa. This year, the event will focus on five key themes:
- Hard currency trade liquidity challenges and solutions.
- Boosting food security with specialised finance.
- Infrastructure financing and sovereign debt sustainability.
- Key innovations across the digital trade ecosystem.
- Building resilience into African supply chains.
