Export Credit Insurance Corporation of SA Ltd - Centurion - South Africa

Export Credit Insurance Corporation of SA Ltd

The ECIC provides insurance that enables South African exporters to offer their services and products on the international market. It has a particular focus on emerging markets in Africa that are considered too risky for conventional insurers. Its overarching goal – and its mandate from the South African government as its sole shareholder – is to make South African exporters attractive to international buyers to attract foreign income, stimulate domestic economic growth and create local jobs.

The ECIC’s various insurance products are formulated to protect all parties involved in cross-border projects, from the institutions that provide financing, to the foreign buyers, to the exporters themselves. It is not uncommon for a single project to be linked to multiple ECIC policies covering both commercial risk (the risk that a buyer will not honour its contractually agreed payments for whatever reason) and political risk (the risk that a project fails due to the actions of the project’s host government).
