Lastly, Joshua D. Gentner, Shareholder and a member of the Global Transportation Finance team, will moderate the session "Where Is the ECA Market Going?". Topics to be discussed include whether all ECAs will offer capital markets products in 2014, how ECA products can change to meet market demand, what is to become of the home market rule and how weaker credits can access ECA funding.
