Sustainability represents the challenge of our lifetime, but for export finance, it is the biggest opportunity today.
Export finance is a microcosm of the whole economy and all of society, with goods and projects from all over the world covered by ECAs. Our industry has contributed to creating growth for exporting nations, while helping to move importing countries out of poverty.
