ECA of Kazakhstan Participates in the OECD Export Credits Meeting
Representatives of JSC "Export Credit Agency of Kazakhstan" (ECA, a subsidiary of the "Baiterek" Holding) are participating in the 54th Practitioners Meeting of the OECD Working Group on Export Credits and Credit Guarantees (ECG), held on September 28–29, 2026, in Vienna, Austria, with the support of the Austrian export credit agency OeKB.
The meeting brought together representatives of export credit agencies from OECD countries, as well as invited experts from Kazakhstan, Brazil, Croatia, Romania, and South Africa.
The main focus of the meeting is on practical issues related to environmental and social (E&S) assessment of export transactions, the application of international approaches to environmental and social risks, human rights, climate aspects, infrastructure and industrial projects, as well as the use of new technologies in E&S due diligence processes.
For ECA of Kazakhstan, participation in the meeting provides an opportunity to exchange practical experience with leading export credit agencies and international financial institutions, familiarize itself with current approaches to the environmental and social assessment of export projects, and discuss practical case studies of their application.
Thus, international experience will be utilized in further improving the internal approaches of ECA of Kazakhstan in the field of environmental and social assessment, developing employee competencies, and integrating sustainable development into the insurance and guarantee support processes for Kazakhstani exports.
By the way, in 2025, ECA received its first international ESG rating from the international agency Sustainable Fitch, and successfully confirmed and improved its performance indicators in September 2026.
Participation in such international professional platforms also helps strengthen cooperation between ECA of Kazakhstan and the international community of export credit agencies, facilitating the exchange of experience on sustainable export financing issues.
