Suppliers’ Credit Insurance (a- Project Finance Insurance)

​This financial product protects banks and financial institutions from the risk of non-payment on project finance facilities.

Saudi EXIM bank then recovers the amount from the obligor or contractor and shares a portion of the recovered funds with the lending bank or financial institution.
