Export finance leaders are invited to outline their vision of how the export credit industry will evolve over the medium to long term:

• The impact of the pandemic on current and future books for banks and ECAs
• Evaluation of ongoing ECA responses to the crisis, workouts and restructurings
• Lessons from worst hit industries – cruise and aviation
• New product lines, initiatives to support exporters and customers and future demand for cover
• Sustainability, social impact and financing energy transition
• Market for newly ECA-covered industries including EV and battery storage
• Advocacy efforts for changing the OECD Consensus, local content rules and the dream landscape for ECAs to operate
• Untied lending and comparison of European and Asian ECAs
• Effect on ECA capacity of non-performing loans, defaults, CPRI market retraction and sovereign downgrades
• The pandemic as a driver for digitisation and increased accessibility for new customers, industries and SMEs

The Oxford Style Debate is back, pitting industry leaders against each-other in a battle of opinions. Our teams take on some of the hottest debates facing the global market today. The winners? That will be for you to decide.

• Will ECAs respond to the Coronavirus crisis in the same way that they reacted to the Global Financial Crisis?
• Should low income countries in Asia be more coordinated with their borrowing? Should banks be more careful when lending to countries that could find themselves in debt distress?
• Is the industry really taking sustainability seriously?
• Is the OECD consensus fit for purpose, and is the US seriously blocking progress on the matter?

Saudi Arabia continues its push towards greater economic diversity to minimize its dependency on its natural resources, expand its public sectors and provide crucial support to its exporters. We will hear the latest updates from key players in the region to uncover project pipelines, Saudi ECA plans and opportunity for international collaboration

Export finance offers an exciting career path, albeit one that can be years in the making. In this session, we gather a mix of new recruits and seasoned pros to discuss their journeys through export finance, focusing on why this is a worthwhile career path:

• How did our senior panelists get started in their careers, and why were our newer recruits attracted to this financial niche? 
• The opportunity to travel has long been an exciting pull for some interested in export finance. How will the move away from international travel impact new recruits?
• How do we ensure that new hirees are fully onboarded and offered the same opportunities as those who started before the world of work changed beyond recognition?
