Title: GTR Europe Trade & Export Finance Conference 2017
Paris, France, June 21 – Recognised as a key market gathering for trade and export finance specialists,
financiers and regional business heads, this year’s GTR Europe Trade & Export Finance Conference

“The significance of trade within Europe has of course been at the forefront of the global news agenda
over the last year, with discussions over Brexit and the EU, elections throughout the continent and
concerns over protectionism from further afield all posing challenges for trading companies, exporters

regional and international trade.”
