Leaders of export credit agencies (ECAs) from the G7 nations are
gathering in London today (19 May) for a two-day summit focused
on “Global Challenges, Shared Solutions”.
The Chiefs and senior representatives from the ECAs of Canada,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States will be
hosted by UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK government's export
credit agency, to address critical issues in international trade
finance as part of their annual meeting.
The summit will tackle key topics including strengthening supply
chain resilience, securing access to critical minerals, and
navigating the evolving landscape of export finance amid the
growth of domestic industrial programmes and the advancement of
artificial intelligence.
Tim Reid, Chief Executive of UK Export Finance,
said:
“In today's world, collaboration between export credit agencies
is more vital than ever to unlock critical financing for the
largest and most pioneering opportunities aligned to our shared
social and economic targets.
“This annual summit, hosted this year by UKEF, offers a unique
opportunity for our G7 ECAs to share insights, align strategies
and develop joint approaches to deliver impact for our domestic
exporters and in countries around the world. By working together,
we can better support businesses navigating international trade
challenges while driving sustainable economic growth across our
nations.”
