Nouvelles mesures sur les disciplines d'évaluation de risque de l'Arrangement sur des crédits à l'exportation bénéficiant d'un soutien public

Après deux années d'intenses négociatons. les pays de l'OCDE participant à l'Arrangement sur les crédits à l'exportation bénéficiant d'un soutien public se sont accordés sur de nouvelles mesures afin d'accroitre les disciplines d'évaluation de risque de l'Arrangement sur des crédits à l'exportation bénéficiant d'un soutien public.

(bientot traduit) ... The new disciplines, which build upon long-established rules on minimum pricing for country credit risk, introduce a common framework for the pricing of buyer credit risk along with new minimum premium rates for country credit risk that had remained unchanged since the first rules on risk premium (the Knaepen Package) came into effect in 1999.

The need for this agreement has grown in recent years as the focus of ECA activity continues to shift towards private buyers. Moreover, the recent sharp increase in the demand for official export credit support related to the Global Financial Crisis emphasised the need to ensure that a level playing field is maintained for exporters competing with official export credit support for overseas sales.

The Chairman of the Premium Experts Group, Mr. David Drysdale, welcomed the new agreement and expressed his appreciation for the work undertaken by his predecessor, the late Detlev Malzkuhn.

The new disciplines will be implemented by September 1, 2011.
