Better together: Exploring opportunity for ECA/DFI collaborations

Giorgio Vitali
Head of Development & ECA Financing,
Enel SpA

The past few years have seen ECAs an DFIs collaborate on some of the market’s standout deals, including Sizewell C in the UK and several packages for Angola. In this session, we welcome ECAs, DFIs, and other structuring partners to workshop practical ideas for even better collaboration. We consider:

  • What can DFIs and ECAs learn from each other to support deal origination?
  • What legal and regulatory requirements need to be considered? How should ECAs and DFIs balance their differing mandates to best serve customers? 
  • How can everyone in the room work together to increase the pipeline for blended finance transactions? 
  • How could ECAs and DFIs simplify their approaches in line with each other, for example by considering ESG requirements and moving away from a project-by-project approach?
