• Private Insurers Eligible for Small-Business Export-Credit Reinsurance From Ex-Im Bank

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Private-sector insurers that provide short-term export-credit insurance covering foreign receivables to U.S. exporters are now eligible for reinsurance from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank). Atradius Trade Credit Insurance Inc. is the first insurer to sign a reinsurance contract with Ex-Im Bank. The new product primarily will benefit U.S. small-business exporters that have had a more difficult time obtaining short-term export credit since the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Ex-Im Bank's reinsurance mitigates risks for private insurers and enables them to expand their underwriting capacity for these credits.

• How to Hedge Foreign Exchange Risk

All the factors of an international trade deal were analyzed and worked out, terms were set and now the payments start rolling in. It would seem like the international credit professional's job is done and the risk to the company is abated as the payments come in on time. However, regardless of how promptly the foreign buyer pays for the goods or services, the financial risk to the seller may not be over if those payments are made in the currency of the buyer's country. Even if an overseas sale is denominated in US dollars, the currency risk exposure is transferred to the buyer, who may be looking at competitor prices denominated in the buyer's own currency. However, some companies engage in practices to hedge against most or all of their foreign currency risk exposures. The most common...

• 2007 Credit Insurance Update

The past three years have been excellent for the credit insurance industry and for most of you as well. Much to their credit, the carriers have renewed the contracts at little or no pricing disadvantage to the client. Arguably, the current environment does not support a sustainable pricing model. Some of the more interesting changes in the credit insurance industry have occurred in the excess of loss carriers and the non-limits underwriters. Although there may be 10 companies that offer credit insurance, perhaps two or three prefer certain markets, such as a limits underwriter for small business. AIG provides a variety of policies. AIG continues to experience growth, although they do not have breakout specifics for each division. The year 2006 has been profitable, with AIG experiencing ...
