EXIAR covers against losses incurred through the occurrence of political risk and commercial risk events. The insurance makes it possible to arrange early-stage financing, including the period before the exported good is actually produced.

The Agency covers up to 90% of commercial risks and up to 95% of political risks on export projects. In certain projects the insurance coverage can reach 100%.

Russian Government Decree No 1204 of November 14, 2014, with its amendments to the Rules of export insurance, has significantly expanded the potential of the Agency, which enables it to support not only exporters, but international development banks, financial institutions, and leasing and factoring companies as well.

This year, by Presidential Order, the Russian specialized government–owned export–import bank (Eximbank of Russia) has become a subsidiary of the Agency.

In order to achieve growth of insurance operations volume, the Agency is constantly boosting additional measures to drive demand and promote export insurance support instruments. This includes creating a number of insurance products and partial standardization of solutions for specific customer groups, considering particular features of every sector.

EXIAR Customers
  • Russian companies exporting high added-value products and services, including small and medium business

  • Russian investors implementing projects abroad

  • Banks and financial institutions

In February 2015 the Russian Government expanded the mandate of EXIAR and endowed it with the function of issuing guarantees for certain capital-intensive export contracts. This allows the Agency to provide additional support to long-term capital-intensive projects, such as supplies of airplanes, gas-transport infrastructure development projects, etc.

Representative offices
  • Moscow
  • Vladivostok
March 12, 2015
saw the opening of the first regional representative office of EXIAR in Vladivostok

The opening of the Agency’s first regional office in Vladivostok is the result of a carefully thought-through strategic decision – one that was based on a range of objective factors. The first, and most obvious of these, is the distance between Moscow and Vladivostok. We want to ensure that various business groups benefit from the broadest possible access to insurance support offered by the Agency. This is a substantial challenge, given the vast geographical area involved.
