Coal Export Financing: Methods and Trends (From the Series Market Guides for Steam Coal Exports from Appalachia)

摘要

The new 1984 version of Coal Export Financing is published as a joint effort of the ARC and the U.S. Department of Commerce. It has been updated to include information on new trends and developments that have occurred since late 1982 in coal export financing as a result of the intense price competition from other coal exporting nations. This includes new information on developments under the Export Trading Company Act of 1982, reverse investments, and barter/countertrade. Information previously provided on political and commercial risk insurance and on governmental assistance has been expanded to reflect the increasing importance of these areas. Any information on banks providing coal export financing services has been updated, as well as expanded to encompass the entire United States, rather than just the Appalachian region.
