We explore the role of ECA-covered loans in enhancing both exporting and importing for local businesses, with a specific focus on sectors such as energy, agriculture, and telecommunications. How financing can play a pivotal role in supporting economic diversification in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan by facilitating investments in non-oil sectors. The session will delve into tailoring ECA-backed financing solutions to align with the unique regional needs of these countries. Participants will have the opportunity to explore potential collaborations with other financial institutions and ECAs, aiming to strengthen export credit offerings for the long term. Join us for an insightful discussion on leveraging ECA support to drive economic growth and diversification across regions.
