We shine a light on the private market while it holds up the skies to support the public market. We look at how ECAs and DFIs are buying insurance and reinsurance designed to aid in the risk exposure and balance sheet optimisation, and conversely how DFIs are de-risking projects to unlock bank appetite and private market support. How have private market solutions helped to unlock capital and projects? Will we see a growth in portfolio insurance? We explore the possibilities of expanding risk-sharing mechanisms while addressing constraints on tenor and capacity in the private market.

Are underwriters seeing the quality risks they want in today’s uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical climate; will they start viewing riskier ventures further afield? How is the regulatory landscape with Basel IV playing out, how will this affect our product offering, and how is the market evolving in response to support clients’ needs? What new trends and innovations are we seeing in the market? Are underwriters willing and able to match bank appetite for SRTs? How have the modernised OECD guidelines affected the market for the export credit transactions and what would a return to 95% ECA cover mean for the market? How are Managing General Agents (MGAs) bringing new capacity to the market?
