The export support tool for Supplier Credit has been updated, introducing measures to support Italian companies with strategic interests in Central or South America, with a focus on Italian SME supply chains. This initiative, which is part of the Latin America Measure*, provides for an export contribution of up to 5% for export contracts signed by Italian companies with counterparts in Central or South America, within a total maximum amount of €300 million.

Among the new features is also the extension of the subsidized support to so-called “framework” export contracts—i.e., supply contracts for various types of capital goods, even from different industrial sectors.
