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 options are available, and the developing role of capital market instruments within ECA-backed projects. Leading institutions will discuss what alternative funding options are available. Panellists will also discuss where capital 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 ready? Does export finance make sense for the investor community?

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?
