Collateral

For medium/long-term transactions with private buyers bank security is required if the foreign buyer's creditworthiness is inadequate.
For medium/long-term transactions with public buyers a guarantee from the Ministry of Finance or the central bank is always required. In case of doubt, additional, project-related risk mitigation measures are required.
For medium/long-term transactions with public buyers which are established as private sector organizations the same collateral requirements as for private buyers apply. 

The assessment of a bank for acceptance as a guarantor or borrower is carried out case by case on the basis of informative documents and taking into account the risk involved.
