Export finance: innovative financing solutions and established relationship with the export credit agencies all over the world
Our offer and our network
The Export Finance line provides cross-border financing as well as advisory and arranging solutions for our Corporate and Financial Institutions clients around the world.
These services are related to export contracts signed between one or more suppliers and an importer for the provision of capital goods and/or services between the parties to the commercial contract. They generally involve a medium/long term financing.
Our Export Finance offer includes:
- export credits and supplier credits covered totally or in part by an Export Credit Agency (ECA),
- middle term lending to international institutions.
Terms of the credit must comply with the OECD’s rules applicable to all OECD members.
Export Finance also handles other types of financing such as :
- those sponsored or supported by multilaterals (EIB, EBRD, IFC …),
- commercial loans tied to export contract,
- untied loan programs or investment guarantees granted by ECAs.
Our teams work in a tight network across 19 countries. They have a long and well established relationship with over 20 ECAs in the exporting countries and a well developed relation with clients on the exporting and importing end. They benefit from extensive experience in providing tailor-made financing and advisory solutions for a whole range of projects across all sectors, including power, oil and gas, rail, infrastructure, telecom, satellites and other eligible sectors.
