Africa can be a challenging market for exporters; high risk perceptions mean that it can be hard to source financing and make the most of the ripe opportunities in the continent. This session asks both international exporters looking to the continent, and African exporters looking at inter-continental trade:

• Do African exporters understand the potential of ECA finance? How can ECAs better educate the market on the product?

• What do international exporters need from ECAs to help them do business on the continent?

• Has the ratification of the AfCFTA improved local exporters’ abilities to export within the continent?
