TXF spoke with PuiYin Tham, vice president of business development at Marubeni to outline the benefits of taking the ECA funding route and how the Japanese developer’s deal pipeline is shaping up in the APAC region.

The 2025 edition of TXF’s annual Commodity Finance Research Report is now available. It reflects the views of a market that has been bruised by disruptions to trade: cautious, uncertain, yet optimistic about the resilience of the industry’s key pillars.

The main themes - including decarbonisation and political volatility - have been echoed in TXF’s earlier events. But the sense of urgency about transformations to economies and workforces is clear - and ECAs are starting to respond.
