In the global practices, ECAs’ obligations are secured by the state guarantees and have the degree of reliability at the level of the country’s sovereign rating. EXIAR’s obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements are secured by Vnesheconombank’s bank guarantee for an amount of USD 10 billion for the period until 31.12.2032 [i] that is secured by the state guarantee of the Russian Federation for the appropriate amount [i] .
The Rules of Export Credit and Investment Insurance against Commercial and Political Risks set out the cap on the Agency’s insurance obligations under the executed insurance agreements in an amount of the state guarantees granted to secure the Agency’s obligations.
The actual volume of provided insurance capacity (amount of all assumed insurance liabilities) at the end of 2016 amounted to RUB 454.2 billion corresponding to 75% of the granted state guarantee (606.6 billion in Russian Rouble equivalent as of 31.12.2016).
The composition of Agency’s insurance reserves and calculation methodologies are based on the best practices of insurance companies subject to the specifics of insurance solutions offered by EXIAR. The insurance reserves are used to make investments under a conservative approach and taking into account the structure of the reserves by currency and term.

The estimated likelihood that the Agency will perform its insurance liabilities on its own at the 10-year horizon is comparable with the level of financial stability attributed to organizations with Baa/BBB credit rating according to international rating agencies’ classifications.
