etc.venues Fenchurch Street, 44 Crutched Friars London, EC3N 2HH
We will be holding our annual Export Finance Afternoon Seminar on Thursday, 15 February 2024. As part of the 2024 event, we will also be hosting a Women in Export Finance Lunch starting at 12.45.
The export finance market has been undergoing significant change with the expansion of export credit agency (ECA) mandates, the rise of untied lending, the modernisation of the OECD Arrangement on export credits and the increasing role of ECAs in facilitating the energy transition.
Join us for an afternoon of discussion, followed by networking drinks, where we will be covering these topics and much more from different market perspectives. In particular, we will hear about:
- What is the data telling us?
- Sustainability and transition finance: where do we go from here?
- The exporter’s perspective
- Risk mitigation strategies
- Current trends, challenges and opportunities,
- as well as current and future LMA initiatives in the market.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Massimo Schirò, Legal Affairs Director – SACE
- Richard Wilkins, Global Head of Export & Agency Finance Origination – JPMorgan
- Cristina Bergomi, Senior Vice President – GE Vernova
- Chris Mitman, Head of Export & Agency Finance – Investec
- Alfonso Olivas, Head of Intelligence Product – TXF
Registration will open at 12.45 with lunch, and the seminar will start at 13.45. The event will close at 17.30, followed by a drinks reception open to all attendees.
We hope that you are able to join us for this afternoon of networking and discussions.
