Export Loan is extended to Korean exporters as a supplier credit, in order to provide them with the required funds to finance export transactions with repayment terms of two years or more. It is mainly designed to encourage the export of capital goods such as industrial plants, ships, and industrial machinery involving larger credits and longer repayment terms than what suppliers or commercial banks would provide.
