Eximgarant of Belarus has introduced a special insurance product for banks — insurance against the risk of non-repayment of bank credit granted to a domestic exporter for the production of goods to be exported (the performance of works, the provision of services).

The insurance covers losses resulting from the borrower’s default on obligations under the credit contract with regard to the repayment of credit (the principal amount of liabilities) within the time as provided in the credit contract due to the borrower’s vulnerable economic standing or insolvency. Export credit for the production of the goods to be exported is available in euros and in US dollars at commercial interest reference rates (CIRRs), in Russian roubles — at the refinancing interest rate of the Central Bank of the RF, losses suffered by banks being compensated from the republican budget. By entering into an insurance contract you get an extra collateral for the whole principal amount of liabilities excluding franchise, so you don’t have to go through a long process of collecting debts.

The procedure of interaction:

1. export contract, previously agreed upon with Eximgarant of Belarus;
2. interbank credit contract, credit contract concluded between the overseas bank and the overseas buyer;
