TXF talks to Abdulrahman Al Sowaidi, CEO of Qatar Development Bank (QDB), at the Exile Global 2025 event, discussing topics such as QDB's multifaceted product offering and its expansion within the international ECA market.
Export finance activity looks healthy as the industry enters the second half of the year, but there is room to improve if ECAs want to match record volumes across 2023 and 2024.

Pragmatism and flexibility are key to navigate through complexity and uncertainty.
