Remarks: Taimur Ahmad, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, LatinFinance Keynote Address: Opening Panel: Accelerating the Reform Program President Macri’s governing power is growing stronger than ever following the success of his Cambiemos coalition in the 2017 mid-term elections. Now armed with new legislative muscle, the need to accelerate his economic reform package through a series of bills aimed at reshaping Argentina’s fiscal, tax, labor and trade systems is vital for boosting longer term growth and investment. This panel sits down with key government officials, corporate executives and global asset managers to pick apart coming reforms, asking what they would like to see, where the economy could go from here and the impact on the financial markets. • Unraveling the reform package: what types of changes are needed on Argentina’s fiscal, tax, labor and trade systems? • What are the key risks to Argentine growth, trade and financial/corporate investment? • How has Argentina’s investment image been evolving relative to the region, the EM, and the world? • How much policy reversal risk is there and what can be done to relieve concerns about it? • How much more room for fiscal suppression is there and how will the shocks be mitigated? • How are the financial markets changing and what can we expect next?
10:40 - 11:40 - Cleaning Up the Curve: Debt Strategies for Argentine Corporate and Sovereign Issuers Hosted by Puente Investors worldwide have shown remarkable appetite for Argentine fixed-income as the sovereign, provinces and corporates print unprecedented rounds of fresh paper into local and inter-national markets – despite a growing fiscal deficit and a slow-moving economy. At the same time, borrowers are still struggling to bring their yields down, which, coupled with a heavier debt load, requires an increasingly more sophisticated approach to their overall debt strategy. This panel explores what those approaches might be. • How do Argentine sovereign credits compare with the rest of LatAm and EM? • How are investor assessments of economic progress reflected in spreads? • Ley de mercados de capital: what will its effects be on local fundraising strategies? • What is the corporate finance toolkit for managing balance sheets? • Emerging liquidity and solvency risks as corporates and provinces re-leverage? • How can corporate issuers further down the ratings scale tap global bond markets? • Financing strategies in the local and cross-border markets - pros and cons? Moderated by: Kevin Gray, Deputy Editor, LatinFinance Panelists include: Cecilia Minguillon, Senior Director, FIXSCR - Fitch Edgardo Sternberg, Vice President, Portfolio Manager - Emerging Markets, Loomis Sayles and Company Frank Slagmolen, Deputy Head Global Capital Markets, EuroClear Juan Manuel Pazos, Head Strategist, PUENTE Matias Gaivironsky, Chief Financial Officer, IRSA Sebastian Katz, Subsecretary of Finance, Province of Buenos Aires Moderated by: Taimur Ahmad, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, LatinFinance Panelists include: Marcos Ayerra, Chairman, Comisión Nacional de Valores Katia Bouzza, Head of Latin America Global Banking, HSBC Daniel Redondo, Secretary of Strategic Energy Planning, Ministry of Energy & Mining, Argentina

11:40 - 12:40 - Argentine Asset Managers: Transforming Argentina’s Local Financial Markets The repatriation of some 100bn USD through Argentina’s tax amnesty law, coupled with a continued economic upswing, has Argentine asset managers scrambling to efficiently allocate the windfall of cash generating a demand boom inside local financial markets. As regulators look to rewrite the rulebook and spur more liquidity, this panel explores the opportunities and challenges for local and global investment funds. • How is individual vs institutional demand for fund management changing? • What are potential implications of the new capital markets law? • How are risk management and derivatives rules changing? • Which products are poised for the biggest growth in the year ahead? Attracting capital to Argentina's infrastructure projects remains a top priority for the Macri administration as they push forth their Public Private Partnership program. The task at hand is monumental with the program's pipeline requiring capital flows in excess of $26 trillion - to start. This panel explores infrastructure projects across Argentina and asks how they can be efficiently financed. • Which structuring innovations are set to be game-changers in the year ahead? • What is the strength of investor demand for project bonds – and how can sponsors tap into it? • How are investors changing their appetite towards infrastructure projects in Latin America? • Effects from the global interest rate environment? How are terms being re-evaluated? • What lessons can be learnt from recent deals? • Has the PPP law enacted in 2016 been effective in promoting private investment in Argentina’s infrastructure?
