TradeFin
About

An independent research project on public data

TradeFin assembles what export credit agencies, the OECD and the development banks publish, and keeps a dated record of it changing. It is a personal research project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for any export credit agency, and it uses no information that is not already public.

What this is, and what it is not

Every figure on this site is somebody else's publication, read on a stated date and linked to its source. Agencies are cited as sources and nothing more. Where a figure is computed rather than read, such as the OECD minimum premium, the page says so and names the rule it was computed from.

Nothing here is a quote, an offer or advice. A minimum premium is what a participating agency may not go below, not what anyone has offered. An agency's published cover position is its general stance on a country, not a decision about any transaction. Confirm anything that matters with the source.

Using the data

The pages are free to read. The compilation, meaning the selection, the dated record of changes and the way it is arranged, is © the author, all rights reserved. Quoting individual figures with a link back is welcome. The underlying publications remain subject to their publishers' own terms, and each is linked where it is used.

If you find a figure that does not match its source, that is the most useful thing you can report. Sources change without notice, and a wrong reading should be corrected rather than kept.

Terms

The site is provided as it is, for information. Figures are read from their sources with care and checked by tests, and they can still be wrong or out of date: the date each one was read is shown beside it. No liability is accepted for decisions taken on the basis of this site. Links to external sites are provided for reference, and their content is their publishers' responsibility.
