London, United Kingdom | 10 June 2026

Alkagesta was participated at GTR UK 2026 in London, one of the United Kingdom’s leading forums for trade finance and export finance, bringing together banks, trade finance providers, exporters, importers, fintechs, insurers, policymakers, and other stakeholders from across the global trade ecosystem.

The company was represented by Asad Huseynov, Managing Director, Investments and Asset Management, who participated in discussions on the developments shaping international trade, supply chains, and trade finance markets.

Organised by Global Trade Review (GTR), one of the leading platforms covering international trade and trade finance, the event provided insight into the challenges and opportunities facing market participants across increasingly complex global trading environments.

The prevailing market view throughout the discussions was that global trade continues to be shaped by macroeconomic volatility, geopolitical developments, evolving supply chains, tariff disruptions, and the accelerating digitalisation of trade and finance.

Key themes highlighted during the event included:

  • The outlook for global trade flows amid economic uncertainty and changing geopolitical conditions.
  • Cashflow optimisation, capital efficiency, and liquidity management across international supply chains.
  • Financing solutions supporting SMEs operating in global markets.
  • Supply-chain resilience and risk management strategies in an increasingly fragmented trade environment.
  • The continued digitalisation of trade finance and its implications for efficiency, transparency, and operational performance.
  • The outlook for UK exports and emerging opportunities across international trade finance markets.

For Alkagesta, the discussions provided valuable insight into developments affecting trade finance, commodity flows, and international supply chains. As a global energy and commodity trading company, Alkagesta continues to monitor developments across financial markets, logistics networks, and global trade flows as these factors increasingly influence commercial activity and market dynamics.

The discussions reinforced the importance of financial flexibility, supply-chain resilience, market intelligence, and disciplined execution as global trade continues to evolve.
