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

• Examining what is genuinely moving under current planning/auction frameworks and where bottlenecks remain. What’s the most financeable near-term pipeline (energy infra, industrials, logistics)?
• Is Vietnam seeing more “strategic ECA” behaviour (security/critical supply chains) versus pure commercial exports?
• Examining the infra market beyond energy:  what do the opportunities in ports, airports, hospitals, roads are in the pipeline? 
• What policy/regulatory shifts would unlock materially larger PF volumes?
• Assessing ECA/DFI roles in moving projects from “promising” to “closeable.”
