Answer to Question 2

Numerous government agencies offer programs to assist exporters with their financing needs. Some programs provide loans or grants to the exporter, while others offer guarantee programs that require the participation of a bank or other approved lender. Commercial banks use government guarantee and insurance programs to reduce the risk associated with loans to exporters. Under such arrangements the government pledges to repay a loan made by a commercial bank in the event the importer is unable to repay.

In the United States, the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) is a government agency that issues credit insurance to protect firms against default on exports sold under short-term credit.
