UAE’s Federal Export Credit Company Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia’s state-owned reinsurance agency Indonesia Re to increase bilateral exports and investments through their trade credit insurance, reinsurance, and guarantees.

Under the agreement, ECI and Indonesia Re will work together to ease commerce and export between the UAE and Indonesia, make funding more accessible to SMEs and mid-caps, and use Shariah-compliant insurance and finance solutions to expand halal trade.

Both organizations will also cooperate to improve the two nations’ business relations, give information on ongoing and potential new projects, as well as investigate insurance, reinsurance, and co-insurance options for export and investments.

Further, they will cooperate to investigate claim recoveries in Indonesia or the UAE, as well as share experience and best practices in commercial underwriting, risk management, country assessment, claims, and recovery.
