Sistemas públicos de crédito à exportação: teoria e experiências internacionais recentes

Abstract

This paper analyzes why official export credit systems exist and how they can constitute na important tool for the development of countries. Export support as a public policy has existed for over a hundred years and plays a role in crisis response and in continuously enabling a wide range of exports. Credit is essential for export activity and no single standard exists to configure export support systems. The main players in official export credit are developed countries or those with well-defined development policies. The current support covers a wide range of instruments related to financing and guarantees. Short-term transactions have occurred relatively often in recent years.
