Export finance

This chiefly involves providing financial support to Italian exporters of goods and services to non-Italian counterparties usually located in emerging markets. It may take the form of financing with the benefit of insurance covers and interest rate subsidies from SIMEST, SACE or other European export credit agencies. The structuring of these transactions, which are often part-syndicated to other banking counterparties, goes hand-in-hand with advisory services provided to clients in respect of commercial negotiations with government organizations granting the insurance cover and/or interest rate subsidy.
