What are export credit agencies and what do they do

Export credit agencies are institutions set up to encourage international trade by providing financing to exporters. The financing can take the form of loans or credits, credit insurance and guarantees. The aim of export credit agencies is to stimulate their respective economies by helping exporters win business abroad and carry out overseas contracts with confidence.
