FCI is pleased to announce that Ana Boata, Head of Economic Research at Allianz Trade, will join the 4th Import-Export Factoring Networking E-vent on 17 November 2026, bringing expert economic insight to this dedicated member networking initiative.
As international trade continues to navigate changing economic conditions, understanding developments across global markets is increasingly important for financial institutions engaged in cross-border business.
Ana Boata leads Allianz Trade's global economic research team, overseeing macroeconomic and sector research across international markets. An award-winning economist, she advises Allianz Trade's Board of Management and is widely recognised for her expertise in economic forecasting, country risk and global market developments.
Her participation will add a valuable economic perspective to an event designed to help FCI members connect, exchange market knowledge and explore opportunities for international factoring business.
Bringing Market Insight and Business Connections Together
Now in its fourth edition, FCI's Import-Export Factoring Networking E-vent provides members with a practical opportunity to strengthen their international correspondent networks through structured one-to-one virtual meetings.
Previous editions have demonstrated the value of this format, with more than 80 bilateral meetings scheduled on average per edition, while 85% of participants reported meeting new correspondents. Members have also identified immediate business cases and prospective new business opportunities through these exchanges.
The event will offer an 18-hour networking window, accommodating members across different time zones without requiring participants to remain online throughout. Registered participants can schedule their bilateral meetings in advance, allowing them to focus on the markets and relationships most relevant to their business.
