Ebook: Regional Economic Integration: Case for a Regional Export Credit Agency for Asia

Export Credit Agencies or Exim Banks play a vital role in promoting and facilitating exports. Such services are essential to exporters if they are to compete effectively in the global market. However, emerging markets of Asia depend on financing from industrial economies and this has risks. Such dependence could be minimized if there was access to trade credit at a regional level. This book looks at the merits of setting up a Regional Export Credit Agency for Asia not only to mobilize private sector funding, but also to promote regional economic integration.
