What’s next for EXIM?: A summary of changes and conditions related to the re-authorisation In the new authorization from Congress, which changes, if any, have occurred in policy (e.g., portfolio cap, limitations on lending to certain sectors (e.g., aircraft), changes to small-business lending, etc.)? What conditions exist? What’s the process? Are there any no-go sectors or countries?
Is there going to be a limit on the availability of US EXIM going forward? |

Getting back on track: Market assessment and priorities in the short and long term How will EXIM prioritize new applications, and deal with a large volume of new business? How much ramp up time, if any, will the different groups need to get back “online” (e.g., short-term insurance, project finance, etc.)?
What are the implications for delegated authority? |

The wider global agency landscape What have we seen from other agencies in recent months in support of their exporters? Are other agencies still willing to work with US EXIM? How can agencies help bring prosperity and peace around the world, in a financially sustainable fashion? From an international policy perspective, why do export credit programs matter and how can a regulated export credit system help global trade? US EXIM and the OECD consensus Could the position of ECAs be taken by DFIs?

Panel discussion: Industry perspectives on working with US Ex-Im and rebuilding business How will EXIM market its reauthorization to its users? How can exporters and banks help in this regard? What is the long-term damage on both EXIM and American exports? Will buyers know to trust a 10-20 years EXIM guarantee? What has the reaction of buyers been to date? With such protracted deal cycles, can project sponsors realistically look to EXIM for project finance solutions, now, and as the next reauthorization approaches?
Beth Touomou, Senior Finance Manager, Bechtel Moderated by: Valerie Colville, Principal, CC Solutions |

Lessons learnt for next time Will this happen again? What can EXIM do to avoid this? How long is the re-authorisation valid for and what limits are expected next time round? Have the pro-EXIM lobby done enough to promote the virtues of export finance – what more could be done? What other stakeholders could be brought into the process?

Many within this community have worked tirelessly to secure the reauthorisation of US Ex-Im. Now this has finally been achieved, there is real energy to the sector and a desire to get on with business.
The TXF approach to this capped attendance event is to create an intimate space for the industry to openly discuss the future of export finance.
In contrast to the larger scale events in the market, this focused agenda will allow for hands-on discussion from both the audience and speakers, as well as provide ample networking opportunities in a close-knit environment.
We want to create the opportunity for you to delve deeper into this topic and gain a clear understanding of how your market can now move forward.
Capped at 80 people, this event offered a unique opportunity to discuss one of the most critical issues in export finance at the current time. What does the reauthorisation mean for you, your business and the export finance industry at large?
With intimate networking, varied speeches and off-the-record “all-play” discussions, this one day conference was the perfect start to begin building up business in 2016.
