Africa Business Network
The Export Credit Guarantees of the Federal Republic of Germany offer export-oriented companies different forms of cover to reduce their exposure to bad debt losses caused by economic or political factors. At the same time, they facilitate exporters’ efforts to raise finance for export business. This particularly applies to business in emerging economies and developing countries.
