Rationale & Objectives

The purpose of the meeting is to create a platform for engagement on issues of mutual interest between the different providers of export credits. The overarching objective of the meeting is to develop a more complete understanding of the export credit landscape and facilitate a mutually-beneficial exchange of knowledge between Berne Union Members, and counterparts from the eximbank community.

The format of the meeting will be a participatory roundtable discussion, including both broad strategic overview and detailed technical exchanges, explored through case studies. The latest agenda is available to download from the table below.
