Objectives of EXIM Bank of Pakistan: As the official export credit agency of Pakistan, EXIM Bank is tasked with playing a hugely critical role through its policies in support of exports. The Bank’s main objectives are to be a catalyst to support enhancement of Pakistan’s exports: • Support in the expansion of exports by encouraging existing exporters to increase the market share in the current markets and expand in to new markets; • Support in the diversification of our export base by encouraging new sectors to export their goods and services, such as Halal Industry, IT, Construction/Engineering, Education and Healthcare. • Support the reduction of imports by supporting import substitution projects. EXIM Bank will contribute to the above, by providing risk mitigating insurance products in partnership with some of the best international reinsurance companies as well as other export credit agencies and lending products like working capital financing, capital financing and buyer credit financing. With sufficient resources provided by the stakeholders, EXIM will also provide bonding products to create a level playing field for local construction and engineering companies to compete in overseas projects, stimulating healthy competition and financial success.
