This panel explores how ECAs, DFIs, private market insurers, commercial banks, and project developers can collaborate to unlock critical infrastructure projects in emerging markets. We will focus on innovative financing solutions, practical approaches to overcoming barriers to financial close, and mobilising private capital through blended finance and new partnership models. We highlight the role of insurance and reinsurance in syndications and liquidity provision. Concluding with an assessment of the growing convergence between export, project, and development finance asset classes - and what this means for future deal structuring and collaboration across the ecosystem.
