The Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit Awards
Export Credit Agency of the Year
The Export Credit Agency of the Year Award celebrates the most outstanding export credit agency based on its initiatives and contributions in furthering export credit in 2022/2023. It is open to all export credit agencies including those from non-ICIEC member countries.
Methodology
Export credit agencies are invited to participate in the nomination process which will be reviewed by an independent external judging panel made up of impartial industry experts, both from within the IsDB Group and the industry.
Winners will be selected based on their collective industry experience and initiatives over the last year. Consideration is given to visibility, range of activity and complexity of work undertaken; nonetheless, equal consideration is given to all achievements based on a relative scale and no entity is at a disadvantage due to size or location.
A shortlist will first be drawn up by the Awards Advisory Board. Any queries by the Awards Advisory Board regarding any of the nominations will be reviewed and fact-checked by an independent judging panel employing multiple methods including direct communication (where possible) with the participants/issuers in the stated lead transactions of each nomination. The reviewed shortlist will then be further deliberated by the board to determine the final winner.
