We also provide expertise in obtaining Buyer's Credit Insurance and Overseas Investment Insurance.

Whether clients require coverage for specific, individual transactions or seek comprehensive enterprise-wide insurance for all their export and intermediary trade activities, our advisory ensures that their international ventures are adequately protected against unforeseen events.

JICA's Private Sector Investment Finance (PSIF) scheme is a vital tool for supporting private enterprises, including Japanese companies, that are undertaking projects with significant development outcomes in developing countries.
