We will address various topics around investment in China, trade finance and commodity trade finance as well as specific banking services ICBC offers in this area. Especially, in light of the still ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, our five specialists from ICBC will try to analyze the potential economic impact on the Chinese economy.
After the conference, we are meeting for an informal Afterwork Apéro.
