In June 2020 export finance leaders from commercial banks, ECAs and government met at the TXF Digital Olympics in 'The Garden' to discuss how the export finance industry has responded to the demand for sustainability across all business lines. We now advance to the field to discuss practical applications within export finance and roadmap the next 10 years:
- While sustainable principles spread across all business practises, in terms of investment where is export finance best placed to help? How is our commitment to fulfilling the SDGs & ESGs changing both the projects we choose and the way we finance these?
- What targets have we set and how do we measure deliverables? Currently where do sustainable projects fit into total export finance volumes? In the next five years how do sustainable investment targets compare to the targets of the complete investment portfolio?
- How can we use data to track and enforce our commitments? What is the criteria we need for eligibility?
- How are products on the market from green bonds to SDG linked loans and ESG-tied debt performing? And what new products and innovations can we see coming to the fore?
- Renewables and energy transition have paved the way, will we diversify into new industries that respond to the SDGs and how can export finance evolve in order to be a suitable product for these?
- What does this mean for traditional ECA industries and legacy projects? Will we see stranded assets and how does this factor into strategy?
- How can all actors and stakeholders better collaborate to ensure standards are met? How can we ensure accountability and strict criteria are upheld?

Our special guest faces a series of questions about today's export finance market. Will they need to use a lifeline - phone a friend, ask the audience, or 50/50 - or will they choose to go it alone? Play along at home and see if you too could be an export financier.

It’s become more important than ever for ECAs to support their local exports and overseas investment. Over 2019, 35.8% of volumes covered by the top 10 ECAs were supported by Asian players, with K-Sure representing the second largest ECA in terms of covered volume. We gather some of Asia’s leading ECAs for a frank, open discussion that considers:
- Global ECAs have rolled out a raft of initiatives to support local businesses through the Coronavirus crisis, but we haven’t seen anything on the same scale within Asia. Why is this, and can we expect to see new products emerging?
- Is this uptick in untied financing here to stay? How is the balance between ‘tied’ and ‘untied’ support changing, if at all?
- How are Asian ECAs addressing the low export finance volumes we’ve seen this year?
- Will the Asian ECA market take a conscious stand when it comes to sustainability?

This hybrid event allows us to gather guests not just in the room with us today, but from desktops and mobile devices all over the globe. We take stock of the opinions of our global delegates, considering:
- How is your organisation adapting to working from home?
- Do you predict a global recession? How comparable will this be to the GFC of 2008?
- Will 2021 be THE year for sustainable finance?
