Export trade credit insurance
Domestic trade credit insurance
PICC Property & Casualty Company Limited (PICC P&C) grew out of People’s Insurance Company of China which was founded in 1949. PICC started to underwrite export credit insurance on behalf of the central government in 1988. In 2001, its export credit business became independent to form Chinese Export and Credit Insurance Company (Sinosure). In 2005, PICC decided to return to the credit insurance market while the surety/bond businesses have been on its product shelf for the past decades. Starting from 1 January 2013, PICC was licensed by the Chinese government to underwrite short term export credit insurance.
