Etihad Credit Insurance partners with Sharjah free zones to support exporters – The National

Etihad Credit Insurance, the UAE's federal export credit agency, is partnering with the Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) and the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone Authority (Saif Zone) to help exporters and re-exporters in Sharjah grow their international business.

As part of the agreement, ECI will offer its trade credit insurance and financial solutions — including its Sharia-compliant insurance product ECI Islamic — to start-ups and small and medium enterprises operating in the two free zones.

The agency will also provide country risk reports and in-depth market intelligence services to help the companies in the free zones export to foreign countries as well as identify and “flourish” in new growth markets around the world “confidently”, ECI said in a statement on Tuesday.
