EKF Denmark’s Export Credit Agency (“EKF”) is looking for an assessment of the evolving global landscape of ex-port credit, risk insurance and development finance based on quantitative and qualitative data analysis.
The markets of export credits, trade finance, private credit insurance, international commercial finance and devel-opment finance are all reacting to the call for increased financing in light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In order to adequately inform EKF’s policy and strategy discussions, a better understanding of the existing and planned activities of global market players involved in international finance, including Export Credit Agencies and Development Finance Institutions from OECD and non-OECD countries is required. On this basis EKF seeks to procure an assessment of the global landscape for export credits, international risk insurance and development finance.
Contents of the assessment
The assessment shall be produced in the form of a report that shall consist of three parts:
(i)an overview of the global trade finance and development finance ecosystem including an overview of the regulatory framework governing the institutions,
(ii)an analysis of the activities of approximately 15 major players in export and development finance and international risk insurers based on activity data as well as case study analysis
(iii)an analysis of the financing needs of project participants (buyers, exporters, developers).
It will include finding, assimilating and assessing global activity data for export credits, development finance and private risk insurance, as well as qualitative interviews of institutions (part ii) and project participants (part iii). The assessment should incorporate the views of at least 5-8 other OECD countries on this issue to reflect a broad range of perspectives and national priorities.
