Local ECAs are still relatively new for the Middle East, but in their short lifespan they have invigorated projects across the globe. Across Africa, local institutions have been established for longer and still have a vital role to play. This session brings local ECAs from Africa and the Middle East together to consider:

●     What role do the Middle East's ECAs have to play in Africa? What notable transactions have already closed, and how will the ECAs continue to support development across the continent?

●      What innovative structures have our ECAs offered clients?

●      How have ECAs used untied financing to support international projects?

• How can regional ECAs partner with international institutions to bolster growth in key markets?
