ECA comparisonWhat do other European ECAs offer, and how do their products compare to the French system? Could Bpifrance and other institutions learn lessons from one another’s ways of working? From direct lending, to provisions to cover sanctions snapback, to “national interest” rather than “national content” models.Ingo Junker, Head of Division Berlin Liaison Officer, Euler HermesMaëlia Dufour, Director International Relations, Product Development, Ratings, Bpifrance Assurance CréditSenior Representative, UKEF
Untangling MENALearn about the cultural, financial and geopolitical complexities of doing business in the Middle East and North Africa. Which sanctions might affect you and how can you make sure you are acting within the law? How might relations between Saudi Arabia and other countries like Yemen and Qatar affect you? Which markets are showing the most growth?
Beauty contest: What other tools are available to support exports?From capital markets tools, to institutional investors, to private insurance, this panel explores the other tools available to support exporters for the deals that are either too risky, off cover or ineligible for ECA support.Paul Torrington, Director, BPL Global
Filling the peripheries: Local costs and downpayment financingA comprehensive guide to the options available for exporters to financing the parts of their projects not covered by traditional structured ECA cover: ineligible local costs and downpayments. What solutions are available, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?Henri d’Ambrières, CEO, HDA Conseil
New system for French state guarantees – what worked and what could be betterWe invite you to pin your feedback about the French ECA to our corkboard: What works well in the status quo? What could be better? What would you hope to see from Bpifrance in the future? We will use your messages as the basis for an interactive brainstorm about how to streamline the new system for French export credits.
Expanding into Sub-Saharan AfricaFrom traditional markets in West Africa (such as the Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Senegal) to countries further afield like Ghana and Mozambique, this session looks at the complexities involved in exporting into Africa.What are the local banking landscapes like? What is the best way to approach due diligence processes? What risks need to be taken into consideration, and how can they be mitigated? What are the best sources of financing?Senior Representative, Commerzbank
Networking Lunch 13:15

Facilitating infrastructureWhat do bilateral development banks, multilateral agencies and infrastructure funds offer? How does their offering fit into the export finance world? How do they operate and who are their main clients?Senior representative, SFIL
How to encourage new exportersShare ideas on how to encourage more French companies to export – from greater collaboration between Bpifrance and Business France for streamlined origination, to new financing products for small exporters, to guidance on KYC/AML compliance and more

Coffee & Networking 16:00
Industry Duel: Should France offer a “one-stop-shop” for Export Finance?France has multiple institutions to support exports, from the AFD and Proparco, to Bpifrance, to the DG Trésor. Could – or should– they work together more closely? Are there advantages of creating a “France Ex-Im” to act as a one-stop-shop for French
exporters? Or would that create unhealthy competition with other financing institutions and undermine their business?
Cocktail receptionJoin us for a drink and unwind from the day
11:00
Policy update: IranThe first ECA-supported exports into Iran may be just around the corner, and Bpifrance are due to announce financing options for the country. This session will look at what options are available and whether ECA cover is now a viable option for French exports into Iran.
