How can private companies use the financial services and risk mitigation instruments offered by export credit agencies in emerging markets?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

When private companies engage in cross border trade and/or investments in emerging market economies they are faced with risks that are different from risks in domestic markets. Emerging markets can offer opportunities for high returns, but at the same time the risks, including both commercial and non-commercial risks, can be high. Those risks need to be managed. This article discusses the opportunities and the challenges that private companies may
face when engaging in trade and investment in emerging markets. It will then discuss options for using risk mitigation instruments offered by export credit agencies (ECAs). The article will discuss examples of cross border trade and projects in emerging markets to illustrate how those instruments have been applied in real world situations.
