“The signing of this MoU reflects our commitment and relentless effort to build strategic partnerships with international institutions. We aim to pave the way for promoting Saudi non-oil exports and enable their expansion into global markets. This vision aligns with continuous developments within the Saudi industrial sector to achieve the goals of the national strategy for industry. At Saudi Exim Bank, we work to find credit solutions to empower the non-oil Saudi economy and increase its contribution to the gross domestic product. Japan is one of the major global markets where we are keen to expand the distribution of Saudi products. We look forward to strengthening our commercial relations, diversifying investments, and benefiting from promising investment opportunities through our cooperation with NEXI.”
Under the agreement, both sides will collaborate closely to strengthen the cooperation by providing insurance solutions to support the export of products and services between Saudi Arabia and Japan.
Through this partnership, they will work together to identify and mitigate various risks associated with cross-border transactions, such as political and commercial risks.
Furthermore, Saudi EXIM and NEXI aim to promote and facilitate smoother international trade and investment activities while minimizing potential financial losses for businesses involved by providing insurance coverage, export credit insurance, and investment insurance.
