Leaders of export credit agencies (ECAs) from the G7 nations are in London for a two-day summit focused on “Global Challenges, Shared Solutions”.
The Chiefs and senior representatives from the ECAs of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States will be hosted by UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK government’s export credit agency, to address critical issues in international trade finance as part of their annual meeting.
The summit will tackle key topics including strengthening supply chain resilience, securing access to critical minerals, and navigating the evolving landscape of export finance amid the growth of domestic industrial programmes and the advancement of artificial intelligence.
Tim Reid, Chief Executive of UK Export Finance, said
“In today’s world, collaboration between export credit agencies is more vital than ever to unlock critical financing for the largest and most pioneering opportunities aligned to our shared social and economic targets.
“This annual summit, hosted this year by UKEF, offers a unique opportunity for our G7 ECAs to share insights, align strategies and develop joint approaches to deliver impact for our domestic exporters and in countries around the world. By working together, we can better support businesses navigating international trade challenges while driving sustainable economic growth across our nations.”
