ECAs continue to be a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes to securing deals in the Americas. This panel gathers international ECAs to consider:

•  What projects do our ECAs have their eyes on for 2024 and beyond?

•  How are ECAs responding to market calls to be more innovative and client led in their approach? Are more ECAs considering untied products for the Americas?

•  How are ECAs responding to the climate crisis? Are they seeking involvement in more sustainable projects, and is this always appropriate?
