Export Credit Agencies

"Gianturco examines the roles played by export credit agencies (ECAs), which are specialized financial institutions that cover some $1 trillion of exports each year. In terms of their financial impact on international trade, these agencies are unsurpassed, but rarely do they receive attention in the financial press or broader recognition.". "In this book Gianturco uncovers the ECAs - revealing and explaining their history, role, functions, and controversies regarding their missions. Essential reading for business professionals, scholars, researchers, and students involved with international business and economic development."--BOOK JACKET.
