The Export Credit Insruance Between Japan And France

Whether it is a developed country or a developing country, to some extent it takes various preferential measures that help export companies protect against risk, low cost and obtain finance so as to develop foreign trade.As a policy tool accepted by international rules,at present export credit insurance(ECI) provides economic security to the export and foreign investment of enterprises,aiming at enlarging trade volume and exploiting overseas markets.ECI insures against overseas commercial risks and political risks to compensate for the loss of payment risks.In the meantime,enterprises can get convenient finance by ECI. ECI is a special export-promotion policy established by a government in order to guarantee the remittance collection of export enterprises. ECI, as a special insurance system encouraged by World Trade Organization (WTO) laws and rules, has developed very mature in the world and has played an active role in promoting foreign trade in many countries.After China's accession into WTO in 2001, China's export volume must increase enormously. But compared with other ECI-developed countries, China's ECI development is slow and poor in respect ofinsurance volume. This thesis studies the management pattern and insurance operation of ECI between Japan and France ,and compared with ECI development problems in China. The writer also puts forward his own opinions and suggestions to Chinese ECI development.
