Export Credit & ECA-Backed Finance

Import and capital-goods finance considered alongside supplier and export-credit arrangements.

Understanding The Mandate

What equipment is being purchased, from which country, and under what supply contract?

Investment Banking & Capital Raising

Imported machinery and infrastructure systems can represent the largest early cash requirement in a project. Export-credit-agency-supported finance can connect a qualified purchaser, its overseas supplier, lending institutions and available insurance or guarantee mechanisms so that procurement and financing are considered together.

AFII's published material discusses export-credit-supported facilities for industrial machinery, renewable-energy systems, aircraft and marine assets. Eligibility depends on the export jurisdiction, supplier content, borrower credit, environmental requirements and the appetite of participating lenders and agencies. Indicative rates or tenors from older publications should not be treated as current offers.

The Issues That Matter

What The Structure
Needs To Address.

Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.

1

Supplier and country of origin

The composition of the export contract and the jurisdiction in which equipment is manufactured can affect which support mechanisms may be available.

2

Credit and project requirements

Lenders review borrower strength, project readiness, security and the ability to service debt. ECA support is not a substitute for commercial viability.

3

Procurement matched to drawdown

Disbursement schedules should take account of manufacturing milestones, shipment, installation and commissioning rather than assuming all expenditure occurs at the outset.

A Practical Perspective

Work From The
Underlying Facts.

Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
