How did European governments use export credit agencies to keep trade going during the Covid-19 crisis, and what should they learn?
Export credit agencies play a key role when markets fail, and especially in crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

It concludes that an overarching strategy, a joint promotion approach and impact-oriented institutions remain important.
