Webinar Export Barometer

06/13/2023

Programme

For the eighth year in a row, Credendo has joined forces with Trends/Trends-Tendances to organise its Export Barometer survey.

The Export Barometer provides an overview of the export situation by means of recurring questions asked to export businesses. The barometer has become a benchmark in exports, as it offers an instant view of the business environment and challenges Belgian companies are facing.

This year’s focus is on rising energy prices and supply difficulties.

During this webinar, we invite you to discover the results with Credendo experts and Foreign Trade Agency representatives. We will also welcome the testimonial of a client to close the panel.

Here is the webinar programme (from 1.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. CET):
 
> A world facing many headwinds: In a context of historically high tensions between the USA and China, the global economy is growing at slower pace and uncertainty remains elevated. Our Credendo expert will provide an overview of the main risks facing emerging markets.
by Pascaline della Faille, Country and Sector Risk Manager at Credendo

> Analysis of the Export Barometer results
by Nabil Jijakli, Deputy CEO of Credendo

> Outlook and analysis from a Trade Agency’s perspective
by Pascale Delcomminette, CEO of Wallonia Export & Investment Agency

> Client testimonial: John Cockerill
by François Michel, CEO of John Cockerill

> Q&A session

The webinar will be moderated by journalist Björn Crul.

Pascale Delcomminette

In April 1997, Pascale was appointed as an advisor to the office of the Minister-President of the Walloon Government.

Pascale left the ministries in 2002 to manage the General Secretariat of the Wallonia Regional Investment Society. But politics called again and, from 2004 to 2013, she worked in a series of managerial positions in the ministerial offices of the Region of Wallonia and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. On 1 January 2014, Pascale became Deputy CEO for Wallonie-Bruxelles International (WBI).
