●      What unique financing needs do borrowers in frontier markets present?

●      What impact do the rising political tensions in the Middle East have on frontier markets seeking finance?

●      How should commercial banks and ECAs approach ESG requirements in emerging markets which still rely heavily on fossil fuels?
