Eximbanks na Ásia: atuação recente dos principais bancos de financiamento ao comércio exterior

Abstract

This text aimed to describes the operation of the main Asian eximbanks – from China, Japan, South Korea, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, and Türkiye. The guiding question was: how eximbanks reconcile financial sustainability with the goal of offering credit at reduced costs? By cheap financing sources – in some cases, even below the current market value – and control of administrative and default costs, eximbanks are able to achieve both objectives. The three largest eximbanks on the continent – Chinese, Japanese, and Korean – expanded their range of activities to support the internationalization of companies, the import of raw materials, and economic development. The other banks continue to focus on export financing.
