International Risk Assessment of Companies/Countries

Several standards were created with the purpose of providing the BNDES with elements that permit a greater assumption of direct risk in credit operations abroad. Methodologies were also developed for credit risk analysis of non-financial institutions located abroad, and procedures for the credit risk classification of sovereign entities. Also, limits and margins were established for exposure to institutions with headquarters abroad. All these developments made it possible to properly verify the credit risk of foreign institutions, expanding the BNDES’ performance in support for Brazilian export companies.
