Rising geopolitical tensions, pressures on the security of supply chains and new investments in energy are changing the way countries promote exports and international trade. Eximbank representatives are also discussing these issues at the Berne Union Spring Meeting in Astana, Kazakhstan, this week.
Slovak companies have the ambition to grow abroad, but when entering new markets they often face risks, lack of contacts or difficult financing conditions. That is why Eximbanka presented to the representatives of foreign embassies the tools that support Slovak exporters in the development of international trade.
Any entry into a new target market requires thorough preparation on the part of the exporter. Therefore, a fundamental building block for success is the development of an export business plan, which enables the identification of specific objectives and strategies. We will take a look at what should definitely not be forgotten when drawing up this plan in the next part of the series I want to be an exporter, prepared by HN in cooperation with Eximbank.
Rastislav Podhorec, CEO of Eximbanka, commenting for HN (Hospodárske noviny) on the potential of small modular reactors and the role of export credit agencies (ECAs), which help to bridge the riskiest phases of projects and create favourable conditions for the involvement of suppliers across countries.
