Berne Union

The Berne Union is the international association of export credit agencies and investment insurers, established to promote the orderly development of cross-border trade and foreign investment through the sharing of expertise and the setting of professional standards in export credit and political risk insurance. Founded in 1934, its members include public and private institutions from over 70 countries. For Indian exporters and investors with international exposure, understanding the Berne Union's framework is relevant when assessing trade credit risk, political risk insurance, and the role of India's Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) in the global trade finance ecosystem.
