The Middle East & Africa boasts strong regional agencies, many of whom are keen to collaborate. Africa, in particular, provides fantastic opportunities for Middle Eastern exporters and EPCs, which agencies are looking to support. This panel asks:

  • What are the latest projects, policies, and initiatives from regional agencies in Africa and the Middle East? 

  • What African projects have Middle Eastern agencies backed, and where can they make a difference in the continent’s significant financing needs? 

  • What examples of collaboration between local and international ECAs should the market seek to emulate?
