SLECIC credit guarantees are available to banks as real credit supplementation

The Guarantee Scheme of SLECIC assists to enhance the creditworthiness of the exporter to secure better facilities from the banks. The Guarantee assures that in the event of an exporter fails to discharge his liabilities to the bank/financial institutions, and thereby make the bank incur a loss, SLECIC would reimburse a substantial portion of the bank/financial institution’s loss.

The Guarantee increases the Risk-Weighted Capital Adequacy of the entire Short-term export credit portfolio of the bank. This enables the banks to lend a higher volume of export finance whilst meeting the Capital Adequacy standards stipulated by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka in keeping with current international practices and requirements laid down by BASEL Committee. Risk Weighted Capital Adequacy Ratio of credit facilities covered by SLECIC Guarantees is 50%.
