Credit Insurance: A powerful force during uncertain times

“About 13-14% of cross-border trade is supported by export credit and investment insurance. Last year, that amounted to $2.5 trillion. It is a powerful force.”

As Secretary-General of the Berne Union, Vinco David leads a trade association whose members play a vital role in the global economy. His career spans over 30 years in the credit insurance industry, and he is also a novelist having published three books so far.

In this interview, Vinco explains the role of export credit and investment insurance in international trade, the current trading environment, and how he manages to combine a career in trade with writing novels.
