Whilst the breakout ECA workshop goes back to the basics of ECA cover, this session provides a deep dive into ECA cover in Africa. 

  • How is the economic and political landscape impacting ECA risk profile and activity? 
  • Are ECAs doing anything to become less selective in terms of what countries they can cover?
  • Is ECA appetite changing in terms of appetite for longer term cover, and why?
  • How do ECAs incorporate social sustainability as well as environmental into project eligibility?
