Introduction

Trade Finance in Energy Commodities is designed for traders, operators and financial professionals within the energy sector who aim to master the art of using financial tools to enhance their company’s market position and profitability.

With a focus on practical applications, this course will guide you through the intricacies of trade finance in the energy sector, emphasizing strategies to optimise your transactions and leverage financial products effectively.

What kind of trade finance product will suit you best?
What are those banking products designed for?

A professional senior trade banker will raise and answer similar questions through the workshop.

Trade Finance in Energy Commodities course will cover:
– what trade is all about
– why trade is ever important in our current (de-)globalized world
– how banks and trade finance specialists can help you to win a commercial contract.

While having a mixed approach – meaning theoretical ideas will be underpinned by practical examples – almost all risks involved in trade will be touched upon and discussed. And finally a practical solution offered to make a commercial transaction bankable.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the trade finance in energy commodities course, participants will be equipped to:

Name the role of all parties involved in international trade
Understand the nature of the relationship between a financial institution and a client
Analyse and apply various trade finance products to maximise the commercial potential of energy commodities transactions
Identify when insurance coverage is needed and why
Negotiate and structure financial agreements that align with corporate objectives, while mitigating risks associated with global trade
Develop insights into how trade finance can be used as a strategic tool for achieving competitive advantage in the volatile energy market

Throughout the days, you will be pulled into the subject and discussion. You may present your own views and professional experiences to enrich the course discussions.
