Making export finance more accessible - a key debate from TXF Venice

TXF's new export finance podcast is back. For this episode, regular contributors Deutsche Bank's global coordinator and head of export finance EMEA, Simon Sayer, TD securities head of structured export finance EMEA, Simon Jones, and GKB Venture's Gabby Buck are joined by Finnvera's CEO and president of the Berne Union, Topi Vesteri.

The podcast includes a discussion looking at how ECAs and banks are judged internally and externally, and how origination works in practice and how it could be improved. Could export finance be simplified in how it is communicated to clients, colleagues, regulators and governments?

You can listen to the podcast via this link: Txfmedia.podbean.com

GCC: When ECAs hit the country ceiling

Fragmented Gulf procurement, tighter local liquidity, strained country limits and Saudi-scale ambition are forcing ECAs beyond the classic tied facility. Shopping lines, untied lending, framework deals and regional agencies are filling the gap — but flexibility brings its own distortions.
