Export Credit Guarantees of the Federal Republic of Germany support German enterprises and buyers of German export in opening up new markets or doing business under special circumstances. By taking out Export Credit Guarantees, German exporters and banks protect themselves from the country and buyer risks involved in export transactions. The official Export Credit Guarantee scheme of the Federal Republic of Germany is managed by Euler Hermes Deutschland AG (German Export Credit Agency - ECA) on behalf and for the account of the Federal German Government. With regard to project finance or structured finance transactions decisions are made by an Interministerial Committee (IMC) of the Federal German Government. Prior to such decision, an experienced auditing company (Independent Chartered Auditor) has to examine the economic, legal and financial viability of the project from the perspective of the risk-taker, i.e. the Federal German Government. The success of your application for Export Credit Cover is therefore highly dependent upon the results of the assessment undertaken by the Independent Chartered Auditor.
