We speak with ECA chiefs about the structural forces reshaping their mandates, portfolios, and risk frameworks. ECA leaders will examine the growing influence of geopolitics, defence priorities, and national industrial policy on export finance; the expansion of untied and hybrid structures; the implications of ongoing ECA reform; and how green and energy-transition commitments sit within a more security-driven environment. These discussions offer a clear view of how leaders are redesigning products, accelerating execution, and shaping strategy to meet rising global demand for energy transition, supply-chain resilience, and critical and strategic infrastructure.
