10:30 – 12:00 OPENING PLENARY The Growth Markets’ Potential: What their emergence means for the future Volatile is the best way to describe the world economy today and while we may have believed we had touched bottom, the euro-zone crisis has the potential to plummet world trade even below the current 3.7% annual growth rate predicted by the WTO. Developing countries will have to search increasingly for growth in the South whatever the actual outcomes for the world economy in 2012 and 2013. The new dynamics in global trade include increasing south-south trade, increasing regional trade, and a reconfiguration of large global value chains with a stronger focus on local sourcing and on producing close to the markets. The growing impact of climate change and related increased focus on food security have also influenced countries trade policies and affected trade patterns associated with the commodity supply chains. Against this backdrop, panellists will explore recent trends and new opportunities in interregional trade.

Speakers H.E. Gita Irawan Wirjawan, Minister of Trade, Republic of Indonesia H.E. Olusegun Aganga, Minister of Trade and Investment, Nigeria Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General, UNCTAD , Director-General, WTO Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, ICICI Bank, India (invited) Moderator Haslinda Amin, Anchor, Bloomberg TV

13:30 – 15:00 PLENARY SESSION I Trade Facilitation: Enhancing interregional and intra-regional trade Infrastructure is necessary to support trade expansion and propel growth. Hard infrastructure solutions need to be coupled with effective trade facilitation services if they are to deliver on ensuring an environment conducive for doing business and enhancing trade. Successful examples will be showcased as well as initiatives aimed at improving connectivity and tackling trade constraints including trade corridors in East Africa and Indonesia, dry ports, particularly for landlocked countries and landlocked production nodes, as well as trade and transport hubs. This plenary will explore challenges, good practices and experiences with successful infrastructure initiatives that have increased connectivity, reduced costs and resulted in increased trade integration.

Speakers H.E. Rob Davies, Minister of Trade and Industry, South Africa H.E. Anthony Hylton, Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Jamaica H.E.

15:30 – 16:45 PARALLEL INTERACTIVE SESSIONS ON INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND TRADE FACILITATION

PARALLEL SESSION I Good Practices in PPPs: Financing and operating infrastructure projects and how this success can be replicated Mobilising private investment in infrastructure is no longer a matter of choice – it is a necessity for policymakers if needs of infrastructure investment estimated at USD1,800 billion per year are to be fulfilled. In many countries around the world, private participation in infrastructure development has helped boost their coverage and efficiency. The session will take stock of the success stories and lessons learnt from cautionary tales of unsuccessful approaches to delineate best practices for future financing and operating infrastructure projects through public-private partnerships.

Speakers H.E. Dagobert Banzio, Minister of Commerce, Cote d’Ivoire Cosette V. Canilao, Executive Director, Public-Private Partnership Center, Philippines (invited) Amanda Ellis, Deputy Secretary, International Development Group, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, New Zealand (invited) Moderator Noke Kiroyan, Chairman, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Republic of Indonesia Rapporteur Rajesh Aggarwal, Chief, Business and Trade Policy, ITC

PARALLEL SESSION II At the Border and Behind the Border: The complexities of NTMs Non-tariff measures (NTMs) are of particular concern to exporters and importers in developing countries, often representing a major impediment to international trade and market access: they vary across products and countries, and can change quickly. However, particularly in developing countries, the business sector often lacks the information, capabilities and facilities to meet the complex requirements and to demonstrate compliance with NTMs at reasonable cost. At the same time, national policymakers need a clear understanding of what their business sector perceives as predominant obstacles to trade to develop the most appropriate trade- related policies.

PARALLEL SESSION III Enabling Services: The critical role of infrastructure services in enhancing overall competitiveness Infrastructure services are those services that are fundamental to the competitiveness of other industries such as telecommunications, ports and roads, energy and financial services. These industries now also represent a major element of global GDP and trade, with UNCTAD estimating that infrastructure services contributed 20% of global GDP with the proportion reaching 37% or more in developed economies like the US and 10% of global employment. The session will explore how the private sector and government can work to improve the performance of infrastructure services to increase competitiveness, and will look in particular at innovation in banking and insurance, telecom and port operation.

Speakers Peter Allgeier, President, Coalition of Services Industries (CSI), USA Robert de Souza, Executive Director, The Logistics Institute (TLI), Singapore Rapelang Rabana, Global Head of R&D, TelFree Group of companies, South Africa Moderator Ninasapti Triaswati, Economist and member of National Economic Committee, Republic of Indonesia Rapporteur Lilia Naas, Programme Manager, Sector Competitiveness, Division of Market Development, ITC

17:00 – 18:15 GENERAL SESSION Indonesia’s Plan for Connectivity: The MP3EI project, a good practice showcase As an archipelagic island country with more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia faces challenges of connectivity. With a view to strengthening national connectivity and human resources, the MP3EI project will build six economic corridors within and among Indonesia’s six main islands to achieve the country’s economic potential.

DAY 2 – TUESDAY, 16 OCTOBER

9:00 – 10:30 PLENARY SESSION II Improving Commodity Supply Chains for Greater Regional and Global Food Security As the purchasing power of developing countries grows, the demand for protein-rich food increases, intensifying food security issues. The worldwide system of food production is challenged by a number of other factors: one billion people in the world today do not get sufficient nutrition while another two billion eat food of poor quality; food production is in some countries is not sustainable and may eventually undermine agricultural productivity; and the impact of climate change is increasing. This plenary will examine current trends in food commodity production and trade, how better implementation of regional trade agreements, trade facilitation and agricultural policy can enhance trade and lower cost while improving the commodity supply chain and competitiveness.

Speakers H.E. Rusman Heriawan, Vice Minister of Agriculture, Republic of Indonesia (invited) H.E.

11:00 – 12:30 PARALLEL INTERACTIVE SESSIONS ON COMMODITIES TRADE

PARALLEL SESSION I Innovations along the Supply Chain: Can smallholder producers ever succeed in export supply chains? Smallholder producers form the backbone of agri-food supplies but inconsistent supply and high levels of waste are major problems. Which innovative approaches, communications and adapted traditional technologies can provide producer communities with direct linkages to exporters, markets and support services and be used to coordinate harvest and delivery?

Speakers Franky Widjaya, Chief Executive Officer, Sinarmas Agribusiness and Food, Jakarta, Indonesia (invited) Christine Wasfy, General Manager, Anantara Seminyak Resort & Spa, Bali, Indonesia Moderator Rob Skidmore, Chief, Sector Competitiveness, Division of Market Development, ITC Rapporteur Ian Sayers, Head, Food and Agri-Business Programme, Division of Market Development, ITC

PARALLEL SESSION II Ensuring Competitiveness Through Targeted Support Services for the Private Sector Trade support institutions in rural areas are often at a disadvantage in providing the latest market information, business skills and other trade support services to local exporters. As a result, SMEs and market-led producers in rural areas struggle to become or remain competitive in regional and international markets. The interactive session will explore some of the challenges: How can local institutions be strengthened to better serve rural exporters? How can networking between the national TPO, chambers of commerce, sectoral and functional TSIs be improved? What innovative processes and mechanisms exist that could be replicated in countries lacking these types of networks?

Speakers Sofyan Basir, Director of Bank BRI, Indonesia Mahmoodun Nabi Chowdhury, Head of Corporate Banking, BRAC Bank, Bangladesh (invited) Luis Torres Paz, Director General, PROMPERU, Peru (invited) Moderator Aicha Pouye, Director, Division of Business and Institutional Support, ITC Rapporteur José Prunello, Senior Adviser, TPO Assessment and Benchmarking Programme, ITC

INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTRE 5 WEDF 2012 PROGRAMME (4 SEPTEMBER 2012)

PARALLEL SESSION III Organizing the Commodities Markets: The role of large corporations, large commodity traders and commodity exchanges Major retailers, processors and traders are increasingly taking a proactive role in working with producers to structure supply chains and provide services to ensure predictable supply, increase efficiency and reduce waste. Commodity exchanges and their members also play a role in structuring processes for storage, financing, logistics and payment to make trade more efficient, often to the benefit of small producers. This session will explore how far this role extends for selected commodities and the implications for all actors in the value chain.

Speakers Megananda Daryono. Executive Director, PT. Perkebunan Nusantara (holding company), Indonesia Megain Widjaja, Chief Executive Officer, Indonesian Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (ICDX) Eleni Gabre-Madhin, Founder and former Chief Executive Officer, Ethiopia Commodity Exchange Moderator Destry Damayanti, Chief Economist, PT. Bank Mandiri, Indonesia Rapporteur Anders Aeroe, Director, Division of Market Development, ITC

12:30 – 14:00 Lunch

14:00 – 15:30 PLENARY SESSION III Growing Value: Meeting the demands of new consumer markets while strengthening local value addition As the middle-income classes expand in the new growth markets, the need for higher-value products and services also expands. This is leading to new opportunities for developing countries to move up the value chain, as well as for employment creation in sectors other than commodities, including in services and in environmental niche markets. This market growth has been driven by consumer demand for products and services that are environmentally and socially responsible. Barriers to the green economy markets, including difficulties in meeting standards and in accessing information, however, have to be addressed. This panel will examine the emerging consumers and how their demand for goods and services can be better met. Panellists will also discuss what conditions need to be in place to be successful in attracting jobs in intermediate goods and services, and how the market for inclusive and sustainably produced goods and services can be expanded.

Speakers H.E. Mari Elka Pangestu, Minister of Tourism & Creative Economy, Republic of Indonesia (invited) H.E. Chen Deming, Minister of Commerce, People’s Republic of China (invited) H.E.

15:30 – 16:00 Break and networking

16:00 – 17:30 PARALLEL INTERACTIVE SESSIONS ON LOCAL VALUE ADDITION

PARALLEL SESSION I LDCs: Integrating SMEs into global value chains Least developed countries (LDCs), particularly those not in Asia, are still largely dependent on trade in commodities. To remain competitive in the long-term, however, they need to differentiate and move up the value chain. How are LDCs reforming the business environment in order to become more attractive for investors to integrate local suppliers into global value chains? How can new linkages between local suppliers and international companies be developed and sustained?

Speakers H.E. Robert Sichinga, Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry, Zambia H.E. Nam Viyaketh, Minister of Industry and Commerce, Lao PDR (invited) Hon. Fonotoe Nuafesili Pierre Lauofo, Deputy Prime Minister, Samoa Moderator Jean-Marie Paugam, Deputy Executive Director, ITC

INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTRE 6 WEDF 2012 PROGRAMME (4 SEPTEMBER 2012)

Rapporteur Rajesh Aggarwal, Chief, Business and Trade Policy, ITC PARALLEL SESSION II How to Promote Services Sector Exports and Innovation Services represent more than 50% of GDP, even in the poorest countries. Services trade grows faster than trade in goods, creates more jobs and drives economic competitiveness overall. Promoting services is, however, complex and requires a change in mind-set for trade support institutions and exporters, starting with the need to constantly innovate. Taking examples from tourism, IT enabled services, transportation and other areas, this session showcases how trade support institutions can help companies innovate and succeed in global markets.

Speakers Emirsyah Satar, President & CEO, Garuda Indonesia, Indonesia Fahim Mashroor, President, Bangladesh Association of Software & Information Services (BASIS), Bangladesh (invited) Janaka Ratanyake, Chairman, Sri Lanka Export Development Board, Sri Lanka Anthony Mwai, Country General Manager, IBM, Kenya (invited) Moderator Desi Anwar, News presenter, Metro TV, Indonesia Rapporteur Rob Skidmore, Chief, Sector Competitiveness, Division of Market Development, ITC

PARALLEL SESSION III Increasing Women Business Owners’ Share of Corporate and Government Procurement to Boost Local Value Addition Women entrepreneurs are a growing economic force: over 34% of firms worldwide have female participation in ownership. Yet companies owned by women are not fully accessing opportunities to leverage corporate and government procurement. The panel will discuss targeting sourcing from women business owners, particularly, why this is important, how it can be achieved and some lessons learnt from the private and public sectors.

Speakers H.E. Miata Beysolow, Minister of Commerce and Industry, Liberia (invited) Nicholas Niggli, Chairman, Government Procurement Committee (WTO) and Counsellor, Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the UN office in Geneva and other international organizations, including WTO (invited) Pacita Juan, President, Philippine Coffee Board Monique Ward, Asia Pacific Director of Procurement, Accenture Putri Kuswisnuwardhani, President Director, Mustika Ratu, Indonesia Moderator Meg Jones, Senior Programme Officer, Women and Trade, ITC

INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTRE 7 WEDF 2012 PROGRAMME (4 SEPTEMBER 2012)

DAY 3 – WEDNESDAY, 17 OCTOBER

9:00 – 10:45 PLENARY SESSION IV Financing Trade Between Emerging Markets Global credit continues to be difficult to access, restricting the availability of trade finance, reducing capital inflows and making it even more difficult for SMEs to secure financing of their trade activities. Access to finance has contributed to the low levels of investment in the agri-business sector in many developing countries and in Africa in particular. Traditional approaches to financing have relied on collateral-based lending but as SME risk is not well understood and financial flows along the supply chain are opaque access to finance has been difficult. Panellists will discuss the key elements necessary to finance producers along agribusiness supply chains giving examples of how it should be done. They will also discuss how a critical element such as structured trade and commodity finance will support the facilitation of inter- or intraregional trade by using innovative trade finance initiatives
