Large scale infrastructure projects such as rail, road, and water simply would not happen in emerging markets without agency support. This session takes the pulse of ECA-backed critical infra prospects in emerging markets across the Africa, considering:

·       What do developers and manufacturers need most from ECAs in critical infrastructure projects?

·       How can different institutions, such as ECAs and multilaterals, collaborate to bring more projects to fruition?

·       What differences have recent innovation in ECA products, such as longer tenors and untied financing, made to large scale critical infrastructure projects?

·       What pain points, such as slow approval processes and stringent ESG requirements, do developers face when seeking to work with agencies on vital infrastructure projects in Africa?

We invite all guests to join our relaxed roundtable session dedicated to celebrating women in export, project, and development finance
