The collaboration between EXIM Thailand and 9 other banks provides
the participating banks’ customers with easy access to EXIM Thailand’s
export credit insurance coverage as they can apply for the service
directly with their primary banks. Moreover, since claim payments
are transferable to lending banks, exporters can expand their export
credit lines by utilizing EXIM Thailand’ export credit insurance policy
as additional loan collateral. With EXIM Thailand’s export credit
insurance, exporters can propose more competitive payment terms and
conditions to buyers in more than 200 countries worldwide. The insurance
facility

covers commercial risks incurred from buyer’s bankruptcy, buyer’s
refusal to pay or take delivery of goods sold as well as political
risks derived from restriction or prohibition of hard currency remittance,
new regulation prohibiting importation, occurrence of war, revolution
or
riot that obstructs payment. The rate of indemnity is up to 90% of loss realized. In addition, EXIM Thailand helps analyze buyer’s credit worthiness and assists in debt collection in case of buyer’s non-payment. Such support will help Thai exporters maintain their shares in existing markets and increase their presence in new markets, while enhancing Thailand’s chance of achieving the targeted gross domestic product growth. .........According to a leading international credit insurance agency, the number of business insolvencies in 2009 increased from year 2008. For instance, business insolvencies in the United States amounted to 60,837 in 2009 (up from 43,546 in 2008 and 28,322 in 2007). Meanwhile, the figures in Western Europe rose to 205,472 in 2009 (up from 172,012 in 2008 and 148,912 in 2007, respectively). |
