Improving the Export Support Infrastructure: Countering a Slowdown in Global Trade

In the midst of the pandemic, institutions supporting the export sector play a crucial role in providing financial support and information to companies.

The ongoing crisis has forced governments around the world to not only increase the amount of support offered, but to broaden the mandate of international export credit agencies. In turn, development institutions have been working to optimize their product line and approaches to operating practices.

This roundtable will bring together members of development institutions from around the world and recipients of support. Together, they will discuss what measures have proven to be most effective and in-demand. Invitees include representatives of development institutions and export credit agencies, and leading experts from relevant international organizations.

Topics for discussion:
• How have trends in global trade shifted, and what does next year have in store?
• What players in global trade have come out the best/worst?
• What measures have been taken by export credit agencies and development institutions?
• Which of these have been most effective, both from the point of view of export credit agencies and the recipients of support?
• Can it be said that the main recipients of support have been those in most need of it?
• What changes does next year have in store for the export support infrastructure?
