Despite a slow few years, the borrowing market in the Americas is on the up. In H1 of 2023 alone, TXF Data reported $15.17 billion in export finance volumes across North and Latin America. As Capex slowly returns to the market, this panel considers:

•  Which Americas borrowers are actively seeking ECA finance?

•  What do our borrowers require from ECAs and financiers to get projects over the line?

•  What opportunities does nearshoring offer to Latin American countries, and what projects should we expect to see coming to market as a result of the trend?

•  How are borrowers coping with the high cost of funds in today’s market?
