Banking and insurance

Financing, capital movement and risk cover in bilateral business

The Banking and Insurance sector deals with financing, risk cover and capital flows between Austria, Serbia and Republika Srpska. Austrian banks and insurers have been active in the region for many years, so the need for exchange is considerable.

What it is about

An Austrian company investing in Serbia, or the other way round, deals with two financial systems: different supervision, different currencies and different customs. Questions that are routine at home need preparation in the other market. How is a subsidiary capitalised? What collateral will a local bank accept? How can currency risk be hedged over several years? Which export credit instruments are available?

What the sector does

The sector brings together banks, insurers, financing advisers and companies facing exactly these questions. We connect companies looking for capital with those who provide it, discuss new regulations and arrange contacts with the relevant bodies in each market.

Who it is relevant for

For banks and insurers with cross-border business, financing and funding advisers, trustees and auditors, and for every member preparing an investment in the other market.
