Welcome to the second day of TXF Middle East & Africa 2022!
We kick off today with a geopolitical overview of the Middle East, a region in flux. Hear an update on the tensions and partnerships that you need to know about if you want to do successful business in the region.
In the wake of the ICC’s report on sustainable export finance, the market is carefully considering how to align export finance structures with ESGs. One thing is certain: It's not going to be easy.
From multi-sourced mega-projects to small ticket transactions, export finance deals require careful consideration of exporters’ needs. And with so many projects on the table in the Middle East & Africa, there are plenty of exciting ways for exporters to engage with the market. In this session, we compare and contrast exporting opportunities across Africa and the Middle East
Energy is, and always has been, a vital sector for the Middle East and Africa. But whilst ECAs tend to focus on large power projects, many countries – including Ghana – are now reporting a surplus. The real pain point is in the lack of grid infrastructure. Here, we consider how to get energy where it's needed most
The Middle East and Africa are both incredibly vulnerable to climate risk. Decarbonisation is therefore a vital sector for these markets, which have conventionally relied on oil revenues. We consider some of the emerging technologies which will support the energy transition, as well as the innovative financial structures that will be needed to support them

How will the current situation impact energy transition? - Which exciting projects have our ECAs been working on? - Why is collaboration with local ECAs and DFIs so important in today's market?
