  2. Main Features of an Export Credit Purpose: the Export Credit is a medium & long term financing supported by an Export Credit Agency (ECA) for the financing of imports of capital goods/services from OECD countries. ECAs may act as guarantor and/or insurer and/or direct lender Framework: export credits are under the framework of international rules defined as the OECD consensus rules

  3. All Major ECAs are opened to Brazil USA Canada France UK Belgium Norway Finland Sweden Germany Netherlands (US Eximbank) (EDC) (COFACE) (ECGD) (OND) (GIEK) (Finnvera) (EKN) (HERMES) (ATRADIUS) Japan (JBIC) Switzerland (ERG) Korea Spain (KEIC) (CESCE) China Austria (SINOSURE) ( OeKB ) Czech Rep.

  5. A Competitive Source of Financing • The cost of the export credit is made of: • Interest: the Borrower may have the choice between: 1) a fixed rate based on the Commercial Interest Reference Rate with some ECAs (COFACE, SACE, CESCE, EXIM...) 2) a floating rate based on the 6-m EURIBOR or LIBOR 3) other fixed market rates (through swaps) • Standard bank fees • Export credit insurance premiums, determined by the supporting ECA, now harmonised under a common country risk rating system
