Trade credit insurance from Coface, and reinsurance from Ex-Im Bank will enable American companies to increase the amount of credit they offer their overseas customers, who therefore can increase their purchases of American goods and services, Ex-Im said.
Separately, the Ex-Im Bank said it renewed a 12-month export credit insurance policy for Wells Fargo to enable the export of American cotton to a large textile firm in Turkey, Menderes Tekstil Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (here).
