A trade credit insurance assure you to get paid what you agreed when you agreed.
Course description
This course provides an introduction to export credit insurance and how it is key on trade facilitation.
Export credit insurance significantly reduces the payment risks associated with doing business internationally by giving the exporter conditional assurance that payment will be made if the foreign buyer is unable to pay. Simply put, exporters can protect their foreign receivables against a variety of risks that could result in non-payment by foreign buyers.
Export credit insurance generally covers commercial risks (such as insolvency of the buyer, bankruptcy, or protracted defaults/slow payment), and certain political risks (such as war, terrorism, riots, and revolution) that could result in non-payment. It also covers currency inconvertibility, expropriation, and changes in import or export regulations.
