The Financial Times is delighted to present a one-day Retreat on commodities and emerging markets, following the success of its annual FT Commodities Global Summit.
The inaugural Retreat will be held in Singapore on Monday 29 September 2014 at the Capella Singapore hotel, on Sentosa Island, with a Welcome Reception the night before.
We are delighted to announce that Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will deliver the opening keynote address at 9am on Monday morning.

This exclusive event will take place under the Chatham House rule to facilitate an informal and relaxed discussion among 150 delegates from commodities trading companies, oil, metals and food producers and consumers, plus governmental and banking organisations.
The commodities industry weathered the slowdown in key emerging markets, including China - the industry’s engine, over the last decade and a half but even if it still presents a challenge, most traders believe that economic momentum is strong.
Javier Blas, founder of the FT Commodities Global Summit, and Neil Hume, FT commodities editor, will facilitate the dialogue. Although the panelists will carry the weight of the debate, the moderators will call upon other delegates for their views, making the Retreat a real conversation, rather than a succession of speeches and one-direction panel discussions.
Places are available to select delegate criteria and, much like the Global Summit, are selling out quickly. Apply now to avoid disappointment!
