MPG conferences and industry forums

The 2024 MPG Conference will apprise market participants on key developments and unpack the next milestones and challenges that will shape the Jibar transition. This will enable them to advance their organisation’s Jibar transition plans, adopt ZARONIA, and minimise the risk of economic value transfer in legacy contracts. Given size of the market’s Jibar-related exposure, it is critical that the transition process remains at the forefront of market participants’ strategic priorities.
