The discussion then goes to the heart of the matter with a practical walk-through of how credit insurance is being used across the deal lifecycle in Asia, from origination and balance sheet management through to default, claims, recoveries and final payout. The focus will be on what is working, what is not, and where friction still sits between banks, brokers, insurers and reinsurers.

• How banks in Asia are embedding credit insurance alongside syndication, distribution and SRT from origination to unlock lending headroom
• Where CPRI is proving most useful across Asian trade, export, commodity, infrastructure and project finance portfolios
• Whether Singapore is becoming the natural hub for regional insurance distribution, placement and portfolio management
• If banks centralise insurance operations globally, what is the benefit of dedicated insurance distribution desks in key Asian markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo or Sydney?
• Is there enough insurance and reinsurance capacity for large, complex or emerging market Asian risks, including Indonesia, Vietnam, India, the Philippines and frontier ASEAN markets?
• What is working, and what is not, in current policy wordings, structures, pricing and placement speed for Asian bank risk?
• How insurers are responding to longer-tenor infrastructure, energy transition, ECA-backed and sovereign-linked exposures in the region

• Analysing how political risk is allocated between ECAs, insurers, lenders, and sponsors.
• Exploring credit risk structuring tools and when each fits best.
• Identifying best-practice playbooks from recent Asia deals for faster close and smoother distribution.
• Examining how CPRI is being used alongside ECA guarantees to fill coverage gaps, improve lender appetite, and support distribution in more volatile markets.
• Assessing where private insurers can add flexibility on tenor, country risk, capacity, and syndication, particularly when ECA cover alone is not sufficient.
