For international projects and investments involving Austrian exporters, OeKB offers access to attractive financing with flexible buyer credit facilities, also known as "shopping lines". Several models are available, based primarily on the length of term required and the impact on Austrian value added.
Your situation
You are a domestic or foreign bank, a large company or a foreign government looking for flexible credit with consistently attractive terms for your business venture. In your investments, you use Austrian suppliers and buy goods or services from Austria.
Our service
We offer Austrian and foreign credit institutions flexible shopping lines for mid- to long-term loans to customers abroad.
Thanks to our excellent credit ratings, we receive very favourable terms in capital markets and pass these on to you.
Multiple suppliers under a single loan
As a foreign business partner, this enables you to bundle purchases from several Austrian manufacturers into one loan, avoiding the laborious process of negotiating multiple individual loans. The financing bank receives a policy and has a designated contact at OeKB who takes care of your project.
While purchases from Austrian companies are required to use the shopping lines, the flexibility of the lines allows you to proceed with planning beore the exact supplieres are known. To find out more, contact our Client Advisory Export Services so we can help you optimise the structure of your project.
What shopping lines from OeKB can do for you
The shopping lines from OeKB are as flexible as your project demands. A few examples illustrate the wide range of possibilities:
- A Brazilian corporation wishes to finance purchases from Austrian companies that have not yet been named.
- Several Austrian companies want to offer the Colombian state-owned railway a delivery and credit package.
- A bank knows that an Indonesian energy utility is interested in purchasing from two Austrian firms, and a credit line could help the buyer to involve additional Austrian suppliers.
- The Austrian trade delegate in Nigeria learns of a large wastewater expansion programme and could offer co-financing to the government or an international financial institution (IFI).
In some cases, we also offer untied guarantee or credit lines, for projects that serve Austria's economic interests. To find out more about these special options, please contact our experts
