LNG financings hit record high levels last year as an unprecedented six US export projects went to FID. Globally, LNG ship and import project financings also saw a vigorous deal pace. 

With developers of export projects looking to advance and additional import infrastructure needed, LNG financing needs are expected to remain elevated in 2026. 

With many options to choose from, financiers can afford to be selective. Export projects must walk a fine line between offering competitive terms even as they struggle to contain rising project costs. Attracting customers and third-party equity is getting tougher as oversupply concerns put pressure on developers. 

Join Melanie Lovatt, Finance Advisor at Poten & Partner's Business Intelligence division on January 21 as she looks at current trends in LNG financing. The webinar will focus on:

• 2025 LNG export project finance deals: What deals stood out? What got them over the line? And why was financing different from other years?
• What the 2025 deals reveal about the expected 2026 LNG export project finance landscape
• What were the major 2025 LNG import project finance and shipping deals and how does increasing LNG supply change the outlook for financing these parts of the supply chain
• The availability of finance from commercial banks, export credit agencies and other providers. How receptive are they to LNG exposure?
