International trade finance risks
Risk types in international trade
Commercial risk the risk an exporter takes
by offering credit to an importer. It is related to
the buyer’s ability to make payments. It is the
most common risk.
Country risk The risk is associated with the
chance of loss from political or economic
actions that affect export receivables, import
payables or otherwise frustrate a trade
transaction.
Foreign exchange risk The risk is related to
the losses that an international financial
transaction may incur due to currency
fluctuations.
