Welcome to Exile Intelligence Day! Today, we give you a first look at our newly released data reports, leaving you with the insights you need to originate new business in export, project, and development finance.

First up, we bring you a comprehensive overview and analysis on the main data trends and topics from 2025.

In this year's session, we will address:

• Global export finance market trends: Where is the market headed as a whole?
• Market activity by sector and region: Are there major departures from previous years' activity?
• Market players and shifts in their activity and focus.
• A review of the market forecast made in H1 2025, along with the outlook for 2026.

Bouncing back from a challenging 2025: Where are the opportunities in development finance in 2026?

This session considers:


• The importance of early DFI and government engagement amid declining deal volumes, particularly in Africa and emerging Asia.
• How de-risking and robust ESG frameworks can create space for bankable projects amid delays with climate and infrastructure projects.
• The demand increase of finance with fiscal reform and social impact.
• How to win new mandates through structuring blended finance and digital/green transition projects in line with evolving DFI and private sector priorities

This session will cover both the project finance and the wider infrastructure finance market.

Amongst the areas it will cover will be:

• Where the year ended up compared to Proximo's October predictions.
• Examining the drivers of 2025's record performance.
• Looking at the role of the data centre market and EMEA's country high points.
• Has project finance continued to attract new entrants?
• What sectors were the quiet stars of 2025?

A deep dive into the international commodity trade finance market over the course of 2025, including:

• Overall market movements by total volume and number of deals.
• Availability of liquidity and market concentration - who are the most active players and who has withdrawn from the market?
• Breakdown by region, sector and company type.
• Accompanying qualitative insights from the TXF CTF Research Report - on AI, SLLs, alternative lending and more.

The escalating Middle East conflict has thrown some of the world’s largest trade routes into turmoil, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. With insurance cover being pulled, tanker traffic stalling, and energy prices surging, the impact is already rippling through export, project, and commodity finance markets.

The “Weaponisation of Trade” has morphed into “The World at Economic War”, released last year and no less accurate in its predictions. Few have been as prescient on the weaponisation of trade as Dr Rebecca Harding - independent trade economist, CEO of The Centre for Economic Security, and author of The Weaponization of Trade. She has spent years mapping how states use trade as a strategic tool and how disruptions cascade through supply chains, commodity prices, and financing structures.

We sit down with Rebecca to unpack what the current conflict means for industry - and where the risks and opportunities lie in 2026 and beyond.
