With WTO system starting since 1995, the international trade business has been getting more competitive and fairer especially with the agreement on subsidies and countervailing measures. The export credit insurance, as the only institution of supporting export business under WTO system, is getting more significant in major economies as an indirect means to support export business. In China, SINOSURE has been monopolizing its export credit insurance market for a long time. Since January 2013, however, the Chinese government permitted several commercial insurers to compete in the market and they include PICC, PING AN, CPIC, China Re. This study is to discuss how to improve the Chinese export credit insurance after analyzing performance of privatization of short-term credit insurance and real cases of success and failures. With the 'Go Global' and 'One Belt, One Road' policy of Chinese government, the role of export credit insurance is expected to be more significant. Thanks to the Korea-China FTA since December 2015, international trade between the two countries will be greater especially in finance and insurance area. Because Korean insurance industry is very much interested in getting into Chinese export credit insurance market, they need to study carefully the performance of privatization of Chinese short-term export credit insurance. For their policy decision makings the Korean authorities need to get lessons from the privatization of Chinese short-term export credit insurance business.

Purpose - This research empirically proves the extent to which export insurance promotes Korean exports to research object countries among New Southern countries. The outcome of this research will present implications for the operations of export insurance for exports to these countries. Design/methodology - For the empirical analysis, the export equation was composed using a basic gravity model. Based on this, the determinants of Korea's exports to research object countries were analyzed. In this study, a panel unit root test and panel cointegration test were conducted. As a result of the panel unit root test, it was confirmed that the variables of the panel data are not belonging to I(0), but to I(1). As a result of the panel cointegration test, it was established that there are long-term stable relationships among all variables. Accordingly, the gravity model was estimated using original data in order to reduce the information loss caused by the first difference, in spite of individual data belonging to I(1). Findings - For the estimated results of panel OLS, the estimated coefficient of short-term export insurance was 0.56-0.64, with statistically significant results at the significance level of 1%. In addition, for the analysis results of the random effect model, the estimated coefficient of short-term export insurance was 0.59-0.64%, with a statistically significant result at the 1% significance level. This could indicate that Korean export insurance has positive influences on export promotion to New Southern countries. Originality/value - The research implies that export insurance has a 4.1 to 4.7 multiplier effect in expanding exports to the New Southern countries for Korea. This research has intensively analyzed the effects of export insurance on the promotion of exports to a selected area by a government foreign economic policy, which is the originality and value of this paper.

최근 계속되는 글로벌 경기 침체로 수출 여건이 악화됨에 따라 수출 주도형 소규모 개방경제인 우리나라는 수출이 감소하고 국내 경제 또한 침체가 지속되고 있다. 따라서 앞으로 수출증대를 통한 우리 경제의 지속적인 성장을 위해서는 수출보험과 같은 수출 지원제도의 유효성을 분석하여 수출확대를 위한 방안을 마련할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수출보험이 국내 중소기업 및 대기업 수출에 미치는 효과를 살펴보기 위해 국내 중소기업 및 대기업 수출실적, 수출보험인수실적, 단기수출보험인수실적, 수출 상대가격지수(수출물가지수), 원/달러 환율, 국내경기 동행지수 등의 자료를 이용하여 시계열 분석을 실시하였다. 특히 벡터자기회귀모형(VAR 모형)을 통한 그랜저 인과관계 검정, VAR 모형 분석, 충격반응 분석, 분산분해 분석 등의 계량경제학적 분석 방법을 이용하여 수출보험이 국내 중소기업 및 대기업의 수출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 첫째, 그랜저 인과관계 검정을 통해 대기업 수출은 국내경기 동행지수에, 국내경기 동행지수는 수출보험인수실적 및 단기수출보험인수실적에 선행하는 인과관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, VAR 모형 분석 결과 수출보험인수실적 및 수출물가지수의 경우 중소기업의 수출에는 부(-)의 영향을, 그리고 대기업 수출에는 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타난 반면, 단기수출보험인수실적의 경우 중소기업의 수출에는 정(+)의 영향을, 그리고 대기업 수출에는 부(-)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 충격반응분석 및 분산분해 분석 결과 대기업 수출은 중소기업에 비해 단기수출보험인수실적에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 수출보험인수실적 역시 중소기업 보다 대기업 수출에 미치는 효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 수출보험의 경우 중소기업보다 대기업 수출 증대에 더 긍정적인 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 중소기업의 중장기적 수출보험 활성화를 위해서는 지자체별로 중소기업에 대한 수출보험 지원을 확대할 필요가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 수출보험이 국내 중소기업 및 대기업의 수출에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 효율적인 수출보험정책을 수립하기 위한 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 하였다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다. 향후 후속연구에서는 수출보험의 수출지원 효과를 보다 정밀하게 측정하기 위해 산업별 보험 인수실적에 따른 수출실적에 대한 시계열 분석을 실시할 필요가 있을 것이다.

The exemption clause of recurring shipments refers to the insurer's exemption in Short-term Export Credit Insurance for the additional shipment which was shipped on board while any foregoing shipment was unpaid beyond its due date over 30 days. The recurring shipments are constituted with two factors: the due date of the foregoing shipment and the shipment date of the additional export. The exemption clause of recurring shipments has been eased by extending the grace period for payment up to 60 days from 30 days for the transactions between exporters and importers having the history of payments which were made customarily in delay. This research argues that the current grace period is for the buyers who customarily delay their payments, and that the insurer introduce a grace period for shipment in favor of exporters for the additional shipment which was delayed in on-boarding due to reasons beyond the control of exporters. In consideration of the waiting time and the on-boarding time at ports for container freight, shipments are frequently delayed, which entails those shipments to be indemnified by the exemption clause of recurring shipments. Roll-overs and Blank Sailings also cause the container freight to be delayed in on-boarding. This research is expected to contribute to further development of Short-term Export Credit Insurance in K-SURE.

Purpose - This paper examines the effectiveness of the foreign exchange risk insurance system in the promotion of SME exports in Korea. The purpose of this study is to analyze the short-term and long-term responses of SME exports to foreign exchange risk insurance support policies. Based on these empirical studies, we would like to present some operational improvements to the operation of the foreign exchange risk insurance system. Design/methodology - In order to analyze the effect of exchange risk insurance on the exports of SMEs, a VAR model consisting of foreign exchange risk insurance underwriting values, export relative price, and domestic demand pressure, including export volume, was established. The study began with tests of the stationarity of time series data. The unit root tests showed that all concerned variables were non-stationary. Accordingly, the results of the cointegration test showed that the tested variables are not cointegrated. Finally, an impulse response function and variance decomposition analysis were conducted to analyze the impulse of foreign exchange risk insurance on exports of SMEs. Findings - As a result of estimating the VAR (1) model, foreign exchange risk insurance was found to be significant at a 1% significance level for SME' export promotion. In the impulse response analysis, SMEs' export response to the impulse of foreign exchange risk insurance showed that exports gradually increased until the third quarter, and then slowed down. However, the impulse did not disappear, and appeared continuously. Originality/value - This study analyzed the effect of foreign exchange insurance on exports of SMEs by applying the VAR model. In particular, this study is the first to analyze the short-term and long-term effects of foreign exchange risk insurance on exports of SMEs. The empirical evidence in the current study have a policy implication for the policy authority to support and promote the foreign exchange risk insurance in the effect of exchange rate volatility on Korea' export SMEs.

This study explores how to prevent the fraudulent export financing and its subsequent export insurance fraud in relation to O/A negotiation. Under the traditional letter of credit(L/C) transactions, the banks, as a negotiation bank, can extend trade financing to the exporters through negotiation of draft and/or shipping documents. Under the O/A transaction scheme, however, bank cannot ascertain existence of trade performance and it is much riskier to extend an advance financing to the exporters before the buyer sends confirmation of debt. In O/A negotiation. some exporters tried to fraud banks by falsifying the shipping documents and the size and gravity of this fraudulent export financing were huge. Therefore, this study examines the banking process in O/A-based trade financing, documents examination process, the negotiation of instruments, treatment of trade financing in export credit guarantee, most importantly, explores what could be the criteria for appropriate treatment of account receivable to insure the safe transfer of account receivable. To maximize the benefit for optimum trade financing, the Bank of Korea established several Trade Finance Rules (refers to "BOK Rules") requiring that commercial banks should maintain optimal credit limits(so called, 'the principle of optimal loan') to extend the trade finance. The K-sure post-shipment credit guarantee programs and short-term export insurance program(EFF)can also facilitate 'the principle of optimal loan' principle.

한국을 비롯한 많은 국가에서 수출보험은 수출증진을 위한 수단으로 이용되어 왔다. 무역자유화를 위한 세계무역기구의 출범 이후에도 수출보험은 여전히 수출증진을 위한 주요 수단으로 인식된다. 본 논문은 국내 기업의 해외법인이 체결한 단기수출보험의 자료를 이용하여 수출보험과 관련한 위험요소(수입자의 신용등급, 결제기간, 모기업의 크기)의 각 등급에 따른 보험가입금액 대비 보험금 지급비율을 산출한다. 이를 위해 일반화 선형모형을 활용, 모델 선택과정을 거쳐 사고빈도(frequency)와 사고심도(severity)를 각각 음이항분포와 로그노말분포로 적합한다. 그리고 일반화 선형모형의 분석결과를 바탕으로 사고빈도와 사고심도에 미치는 각 위험요소의 등급에 따른 계약건수 대비 평균 사고발생 비율과 보험가입금액 대비 평균 지급비율을 제시한다. 이후 이를 통합함으로써 각 위험요소의 등급별 지급비율의 기댓값을 추정한다. 그리고 이 결과를 이용하여 요율산정에 대한 시사점을 논의한다.

수출신용보증은 수출계약과 관련하여 외국환은행이 중소기업자인 수출업자에게 수출신용보증서를 담보로 대출함에 따라 발생하는 수출자의 상환채무에 대하여 한국무역보험공사가 그 지급을 연대보증하는 것으로 외국환은행은 안심하고 수출금융을 취급할 수 있다. 또한 중소기업 수출자도 별도의 담보를 제공하지 않아 현재 중소기업은 전용보증제도인 수출보험제도를 가장 선호하고 있다. 하지만 한국무역보험공사가 지원하는 수출신용보증의 경우 최근 5년간 인수실적이 공사 전체 인수실적(보험 및 보증인수 총액, 총 604조여 원)의 2.64%(16조여 원)에 불과한데도 5,262억 원의 보험수지 적자가 발생하는 등 무역기금손실의 주요 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 중소기업의 건전한 수출지원 정책으로서 안정적인 무역금융지원기반을 마련하고 기금운용의 건전성 확보와 절감 방안을 검토하기 위해 2011년 11월 감사원의 무역보험실태 보고서를 토대로 수출신용보증제도의 사례분석을 통해 문제점을 고찰하고 무역보험운용상의 개선방안을 도출하고자 한다.

The Purpose of this Article is to analyze the special settlement and electronic settlement system in the international trade. First, Factoring is a fast, easy and flexible way to improve a company's cash flow and generate working capital for the company. Factoring can be short-term or part of an ongoing financing program. New companies can benefit as well, since there is no requirement for a long-term credit history. Second, Forfaiting is a method of trade financing that allows exporters to obtain cash and be free of all risks by selling their medium term receivables on a 'without recourse' basis. Forfaiting can be an alternative to export credit or insurance cover, especially for those transactions in which the export credit agency is not open to a particular country and/or bank. Third, The Bolero System is jointly financed by SWIFT(Society for World International Financial Telecommunications) which handles most of the electronic funds transfer for banks, and the Through Transport Mutual Assurance Association(the TT Club), a mutual insurance association most of whose members are drawn from the Multimodal transport industry or transport intermediaries. Fourth, TradeCard is a payment and settlement system that is an alternative to letters of crdeit. That is, TradeCard is a business-to-business e-commerce infrastructure that enables buyers and sellers to conduct and settle international trade transactions securely over the Internet.
