Press release -
New subsidiary AU Group México and appointment Gregorio Alcasena
Today, during Day 1 of the GTR MENA 2026 taking place in Dubai, and while cross‑border trade across the Gulf is accelerating at its fastest pace in more than a decade, AU Group is calling attention to a growing challenge for regional banks: the urgent need to free up regulatory capital to sustain lending momentum. As geopolitical shifts open new trade corridors and national diversification strategies expand infrastructure and industrial investment, banks are under mounting pressure to support longer‑tenor, higher‑complexity transactions, while navigating increasingly stringent global capital requirements.
Gregorio Alcasena
Gregorio Alcasena has over 12 years of experience in credit insurance, financing, and risk management. He began his career in 2013 at Banco Comafi in Argentina, before joining Coface in 2016, where he was promoted to Regional Head of Sales LATAM. In this role, he oversaw commercial development in several strategic South American countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. In June 2024, he founded GA Risk Capital with the ambition of providing an innovative approach to risk advisory. Today, Gregorio Alcasena takes on the role of General Manager of AU Group México, where he will implement the company’s development strategy.
"I am very excited to join AU Group México, together with my team. Our expertise, knowledge of local companies, and ability to create regional synergies will be key assets in supporting AU Group’s growth and actively contributing to its momentum."
