The Berne Union is leading a side event at the 2023 Finance in Common Summit of Public Development Banks in Cartagena on Wednesday 6th September

This discussion will explore the role of export finance in economic development, how the risk mitigation instruments deployed by public and private sector underwriters of credit and political risk can help leverage private sector investment for projects with sustainable economic impact, and opportunities for a more integrated overall system of public finance which can bring together export and development capital.

The session will be led by BU President Maëlia Dufour and Secretary General Paul Heaney with input from BU members and stakeholders including:

  • Dan Riordan, Global Head of Political Risk and Credit, Vantage
  • Rouzbeh Ashayeri, Senior Underwriter Financial Institutions and Capital Markets, MIGA

  • Chris Mitman, Head of Export and Agency Finance, Investec and Managing Partner at Acre Impact Capital
