The private market for credit and political risk insurance has been profitable over the long term, most noticeably the past three years. Yet penetration levels are quite low, governments have limited trust, and reinsurance capacity is under threat whenever the credit outlook deteriorates. What can the market do to reach higher potential?

How can the market improve support from key stakeholders, e.g. governments and reinsurers?
Is there a need for an EU-wide export credit agency, or can the private market fill the gap?
Why did governments feel the need immediately to step in at the outset of Covid, and how can the private market gain more trust from them?
Do we work hard enough on having a good brand image with key influencers?
Do we handle our crises (e.g. Greensill, Ukraine, Recessions) optimally?
Would more diversity of supply (e.g. new entrants) in short term business help us to reach higher potential and better penetration?
Should the industry invest more in training to reduce reputational risks?
