Supporting the European Commission: public finance for digital transformation

How selected European export credit agencies finance connectivity, data infrastructure, digital public infrastructure and digital services abroad, and which reforms could make them system-level enablers of partner countries' digital transformation.

Andreas Klasen and Henning Meyer · 2025–2026

The work examined how selected European export credit agencies finance connectivity, data infrastructure, digital public infrastructure and digital services abroad. It recommended stronger coordination across national agencies, EU-level risk-sharing capacity including local currency cover, and a distinct pathway for digital public infrastructure combining grants, buyer credits and sovereign loans.
