Critical Analysis of Export Credit Agencies in Consideration of Euler Hermes


Book Description

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B+, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: International Finance, 20 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The public export finance is one of the most extensive sources of finance. All export credit agencies are subject to internationally valid rules, which are respected with the distribution of warranties. Apart from the promotion of exports, export credit agencies offer their services with public funds but without public control - also foreign direct investments in emerging markets in the south as well as east and southeast European countries like the successor countries of the Soviet Union. With the allocation of public warranties there are missing controls considering aspects of the environment and the society which enables the promotion of social-, environmental- and cultural-incompatible projects. Export credit agencies are the most important public financial source still before the World Bank and the public development aid when it comes to private investments, infrastructure buildings and heavy industry.1 Successful foreign business transactions need an equally successful financing, qualitatively according to products to be exported. Therefore, a longterm planning is necessary due to the fact that there is a long term frame from the placing of order to the receipt of money. These phases need to be brigded financially because expenses for empoyees and distributors are incurred. Commercial banks and special financing companies therefore offer various finance opportunities.

Financing Pulp Mills: An Appraisal of Risk Assessment and Safeguard Procedures


Book Description

This study analyses the risk assessment and socio-environmental safeguard procedures associated with the financing of pulp mill projects. The type and cost of the fibre source is clearly key to the economic competitiveness of any pulp mill. Nevertheless, investment institutions often carry out only limited assessment of the fibre source of the proposed mill. Although a growing number of financial institutions have adopted policies to employ social and environmental safeguard screening for investments in developing countries and transitioning economies, the scope of such screenings is in fact quite limited and they are often implemented ineffectively.

EU Supervision of Credit Rating Agencies


Book Description

"The 2008 financial crisis focused attention on the credit rating agencies and their impact on financial markets. At the time, there was very little regulation of the agencies in Europe. In 2011, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) was created to register, monitor and supervise them. This report examines whether ESMA has successfully established itself as the credit rating agencies watchdog for the EU. We conclude that while ESMA has laid down good foundations, its rules and guidelines are not yet complete and significant risks remain to be addressed in the future."--Publisher's description.

Public Procurement and Human Rights


Book Description

This timely work reflects on the role and obligations of the state as a buyer of goods and services, from the dual disciplinary perspectives of public procurement and human rights. Through theoretical and doctrinal analyses, and practice-focused case studies, it interrogates the evolving character of public procurement as an interface for multiple normative regimes and competing policies. Challenging the prevailing paradigm which subordinates human rights to narrowly-defined economic goals, insightful contributions advance a compelling case for greater inter-disciplinarity and policy coherence as crucial to realising international policies such as those embodied in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
