Last week, our Managing Director & CEO, John Hopkins, and our Head of International and Commonwealth Engagement, Ashlee Brady, attended an Investor Roundtable hosted by Treasurer the Hon Jim Chalmers MP in Canberra. John presented on Specialist Investment Vehicles (SIVs) and our role in investing in national priorities, alongside the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation and the Australia Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA | The Voice of Super). Focused on our expanding role as Australia’s export credit agency (ECA), John highlighted our strong track record supporting national priorities, including critical minerals, defence and infrastructure development and investment in the Indo-Pacific region.   Working with other SIVS and our global ECA counterparts has been crucial in achieving these priorities. We are well-positioned to use this experience to deliver a Future Made in Australia.

We were proud to sponsor the Australian Centre for International Trade and Investment (ACITI) Annual Conference, which this year focused on the Government’s A Future Made In Australia (FMA) initiative.  The event sparked many valuable conversations on Australia’s global competitiveness and key opportunities for business. Our Chief Corporate Affairs & Strategy Officer, Nic Frankham, moderated a panel on sources of Australia’s international competitiveness in the energy transition.  The panellists explored how FMA might allow Australia to compete globally during the energy transition. Thank you, ACITI, for facilitating these important conversations. John Hopkins Ashlee Brady Bernadette Smith Prudence Gordon
