Short-term export credit insurance

Export credits enable foreign buyers of goods and services to defer payment. Sellers can insure themselves against this credit risk (‘export credit insurance’). The short-term export credit insurance communication lays down rules to (i) ensure that State support to export credits does not distort competition among private and public (or publicly supported) export credit insurers, and (ii) create a level-playing field among exporters in different Member States.
