Please take your seats and witness the re-enactment of the most famous battle in the ancient world, now unfolding on the modern stage. Today the gods present new challenges in the form of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, sluggish economic growth, both new and ongoing conflicts, climate risks, energy security concerns, and deglobalization. How will our heroes employ the tools of export and agency finance to confront these challenges and lead their institutions to newfound glories? The audience votes to decide if the Greeks will once again triumph, or the Trojans stage an epic comeback?

The Adyton (inner chamber) of the Parthenon housed the treasury for the ancient city. Today we peek inside to uncover the tools bankers use to get the most out of CPRI products across syndications, distribution, risk mitigation and capital relief. Are the tools in the Adyton doing the job, or is there scope for more capacity, new products, innovation, and inventory finance? Are bankers after increased standardisation for efficiency purposes or more bespoke products to suit their individual needs? How will Basel IV impact capital requirements regulation (CRR) and the ability of banks to distribute risk for capital relief purposes? Will the focus shift to pure risk mitigation and internal limit relief? If so what does this mean for bank appetite for credit risk (CRI) insurance? Will we continue to see appetite and growth in the market for portfolio insurance and Significant Risk Transfer (SRTs) and will there be expansion into new asset classes and regions?
