Details

Whilst project and export financing has become even more critical, we take a look at the opportunities that have arisen from this difficult time, and how ECAs are pulling out all the stops to make this a new target market. Now that the Rand is down, where can South African companies look to beyond their borders to ensure their exports become more competitive?

We look at the opportunities and discuss the key challenges in this space over two days of networking, debate and discussion. Hear what DFIs and ECAs active in the region can do to help mitigate the risk that investors often feel, in key sectors such as water, infrastructure and power. Are South African banks still tentative to look cross border? Or will the recent economic climate push them to being less risk averse and look for more creative solutions to financing?
