Annual Activity Report data:
Explanatory note:
“MS shall report, in accordance with their national legislative framework, on assets and
liabilities, claims paid and recoveries, new commitments, exposures and premium charges."
From Regulation 1233/2011,Annex 1.
Member States that have more than one ECA should do one single integrated report (reporting
obligation is on the MemberState as such, not the ECA). Where a MS offers at the same time
different types of products (pure cover and direct lending), the reporting under chapter IV
should however differentiate.
A) In case of official support is provided in the form of export credit guarantee or
insurance (“pure cover”) in the sense of Art 5a 1) OECD Arrangement:2
