Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: IRAQ: DUTCH TO PROVIDE EXPORT CREDIT INSURANCE
REF: A. THE HAGUE 2306
B. STATE 250386
C. ROME 05488
1. The Dutch Ministry of Finance announced on November 27
that it would make available export credit insurance for Iraq
totaling EUR 25 million, valid for 180 days. As reported in
ref A, the package will be managed by private insurer Gerling
NCM. Gerling NCM participated in the December 5 meeting of
export credit agencies in Rome (ref C) and is a signatory to
the agreement with the Trade Bank of Iraq.
2. In a letter to parliament, Minister of Finance Gerrit
Zalm said the facility has the dual purpose of helping Iraq's
reconstruction and creating export opportunities for Dutch
companies. Zalm noted that access to international capital
markets is essential to Iraq's reconstruction. The facility
features a cap of EUR 5 million per transaction, in an effort
to prevent one company from enjoying a disproportionate share.
