What attracts investors to look at export finance, and what
concerns do they have before investing in greater volumes? Is an investment into export finance assets an opportunity
to buy well priced government paper, or is it something
else? What role does the arranging bank play, and what
is the bank risk for the investor? What do different ECA
cover policies mean in practice to investors? Will assets
continue to be attractive if interest rates rise and assets in
other sectors become more attractive? What is the role of
private equity and pension funds?

The Exim reauthorization debate put SMEs front and
centre. Support for SMEs is no longer a hope, but an
expectation of export finance. Is the industry ready to
deliver? Which ECAs are leading the charge with SME
financing and what assistance should be expected from
banking partners? Many regular deals are deemed too
small to be attractive for some of the big international
lenders, but many ECAs now have an obligation to better
service the SME community – and this will only get more
pronounced. Get the latest financing techniques exporters
and borrowers are using with the private market and ECA
backing. Which banks are stepping up? Should this be the
role of traditional export finance departments, or be taken
on elsewhere?

A key panel that will analyse and assess the need for
increased liquidity within the sector, what funding

market tools have been used to date, what success they
have had on particular transactions and in which sectors
we can expect to see them being used going forward. Is
this the way of modern export finance? Can banks build a
book if they are distributing large amounts? Are ECAs all

community?

banks play? How will the needs of exporters and buyers change and will export finance be fit for purpose? Are there enough new people coming into the sector, and does
the industry have a prominent enough role to grow? Who will be the winners and losers in 10 years’ time?
