The Middle East remains a hub for large-scale infrastructure projects involving a range of financial institutions - from local and international banks to ECAs. This session examines the pipelines of large scale developers and borrowers:

  • What does the project pipeline for large scale infrastructure look like in the MENA region?
  • Which developers are looking to tap the ECA market, and for which projects? If not, why not? 
  • What could ECAs and financiers do to better support borrowers in MENA?
  • It's been a bumper year for rail infrastructure - how are huge projects like Hafeet faring?
