A candid fireside session with global heads from our partner banks, grouped thematically into three panels for a fast, unscripted conversation on the realities of today’s export finance market. Expect direct answers on career lessons, deals that went wrong, sector and regional priorities, defence positions, sustainability credibility, longer tenors, pricing pressure, and flatlining volumes. The session closes with an honest look at the future of ECA banking - competition versus collaboration, the rise of Asian lenders, and whether the current model remains fit for a more fragmented, demanding market.
