aboutAbout us

ECIC SA was established in 2001 in terms of the Export Credit and Foreign Investments Insurance Act, 1957, as amended. It is a registered insurer and a public company with limited liability. ECIC provides insurance that enables South African exporters to offer their services and products on the international market, with a particular focus on emerging markets in Africa that are considered too risky by conventional insures. Its overarching goal and its mandate from the South African government as its sole shareholder is to make South African exporters attractive to international buyers to attract foreign income, stimulate local economic growth and create local jobs.
