With special guests Paul Richards of ANZ, and Chris Mitman of Investec, we discuss the progress of the ICC Banking Commission Export Finance Committee’s Sustainability Working Group, and how the initiative is looking to engage not only with banks, but also corporates, ECAs and others.
In addition, we examine the latest movements within the OECD, and where sustainability fits into the wider picture of the eroding OECD consensus.

Despite two and a half years of delayed and cancelled projects, the Export-Import Bank of Korea (Kexim) has shown an unwavering appetite for large-scale project risk from Asia to the US. But the Korean ECA is looking to adopt more traditional ECA product suites to stay competitive.
