This month's featured article: The UK Year Ahead — Key Risks, by Ian Selby, CUO of Nexus Trade Credit
Credit Insurance News
Trouble ahead for trade credit insurance. Commercial Risk has reported that although the last couple of years has seen a
remarkably benign claims environment for trade credit insurance globally, the outlook for the next year or two is pointing to a difficult time for corporates, with insolvencies and payment delays expected to grow
dramatically.
Consequently, the trade credit insurance environment is changing, and risk appetite is starting to harden after being soft for longer than expected. According to Frederic Bourgeois, Managing Director at Coface UK and Ireland,
although there is still a lot of capacity in the market, this tends to be reserved for existing clients.
He added: "Since the summer, the level of activity of new prospects has increased significantly, although many of the requests we receive are very selective and thus need to be declined, however we do quote nearly two-thirds of
the enquiries we receive."

Berne Union members brace for "a confluence of negative global events". According to Berne Union Member data published for the first half of 2022,
with overall strong demand and a manageable claims situation,
trade credit insurers have mostly maintained their risk appetite during 2022, albeit becoming more selective around certain countries or sectors. However, while 2022 will likely be a relatively benign year
for private and public trade credit insurers, Berne Union members feel that the outlook for 2023 is bleaker. Many insurers highlighted that they are trying to maintain their current limits, but due to the higher-risk environment this may result in higher premiums in the future, and warn that the industry is bracing itself for the prospect of a confluence of negative global events which have been building over the past three years.
The biggest market for short term trade credit insurance is still Europe — which accounts for around half of global cover provided.

Around one-third of companies in Eastern Europe "will be inclined towards credit insurance" in the year ahead.
According to the latest edition of the Atradius Payment Practices Barometer, late payments currently affect an average of 43% of all sales to B2B customers across industries polled in Eastern Europe.
The research also noted that a deterioration of Days Sales Outstanding was reported by 48% of businesses, with many respondents in the region expressing deep uncertainty about the effects of the ongoing global economic downturn and
their ability to set aside enough funds to absorb the hit of a significant write-off that was highly likely to occur in the current unsettled economic and trading environment.
Atradius notes that this may be why around one-third of the companies polled in the survey say they "will be inclined
towards using credit insurance in the year ahead."

The UK economy is set to experience the deepest recession amongst large economies.
According to Allianz Trade, the UK economy is forecast to fall into a recession in 2023 before finding a weak recovery of 0.7% in 2024.
Allianz Trade predicts that the UK economy will shrink by -0.9% in 2023 — the deepest recession amongst large economies — compared to just -0.3% for the US and -0.4% across the Eurozone. In comparison, global GDP will grow by +1.9%.
Furthermore, Allianz Trade notes that, along with Spain, the UK is leading the rebound in business insolvencies in Europe, with insolvencies expected to increase by +51% in 2022 and by +15% in 2023.
"The climb in insolvencies is driven by a sharp increase in liquidations, suggesting that businesses which were struggling either before or during pandemic lockdowns have simply chosen to close rather than attempt to restructure or sell,"
said Maxime Darmet, Senior Economist, France the US and UK, at Allianz Trade.

Outlook for trade credit insurance in the new year.
Trade Finance Global (TFG) has published an interview in which Francoise Huang, Senior Economist for Asia Pacific and Trade at Allianz Trade, John Miller, Chief Economic
Analyst at Trade Data Monitor, and Richard Wulff, Executive Director at ICISA, provide their predictions on trade values, commodities performances and discuss what the trade credit insurance environment will look like in 2023 for
bank and corporate users.
Richard Wulff comments that 2022 was another tumultuous year, resulting in more companies looking for options to mitigate risk and support development. Consequently, there are "clear signs that this is leading to a higher demand for
our products", although due to rising insolvencies and claims, insurers will be paying close attention to risk quality.
He also notes that the EU is currently carrying out a review to ensure that credit insurance continues to receive appropriate recognition as a vital source of risk mitigation.

Allianz Trade, Santander CIB & Two partner to develop a new B2B BNPL solution for large multinational corporates.
Allianz Trade, Two (the B2B e-commerce payments platform), and Santander Corporate & Investment Banking, have announced that they have partnered to provide the first
global B2B Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)
solution for large multinational corporates.
Allianz Trade advises that the solution is a game changer for global online B2B commerce.
François Burtin, Global Head of e-commerce at Allianz Trade, commented:
"Our solution will be distributed worldwide and aims to allow large corporates to develop their online sales by offering deferred payments to existing and new customers,
without being exposed to non-payment risks, while benefiting from immediate and guaranteed payments." Marsh Spain acted as the trade credit insurance broker. To read Allianz Trade's news release go to https://www.allianz-trade.com/en_GB/newsroom/new-b2b-bnpl-partnership.html.
Top credit insurer reduces cover for THG suppliers. Retail Gazette has reported that, according to a recent article in The Guardian,
Allianz Trade has trimmed back insurance cover for suppliers to THG in recent weeks. According to the article, it is understood that Allianz informed the group's suppliers of its decision although, alongside other insurers, it continues to provide cover for them. Sources close to THG, which owns brands including Lookfantastic, Glossybox and Cult Beauty, said the reduction in cover was "small" compared with its overall level of credit insurance and has no bearing on THG’s financial position.

Credendo reports increased use of trade credit insurance services.
Credendo's latest Export Barometer for 2022 has found that Belgian businesses reported receiving even
more export support in 2022, with only 36% (down from 45%) of businesses reporting that they had received no support.
According to Credendo, although businesses' main partners continue to be banks (29%) and regional export agencies (18%), there has also been a pronounced upswing for trade credit insurers (to a record 13%), "a sign that the return of political risk is leading to an upturn in the use of their [credit insurers'] services." As a corollary, the proportion of businesses not covering their risks of non-payment fell to 17%,
the lowest since the Barometer began. Although 100% advance payment remains the most
commonly cited protection, trade credit insurance is mentioned by one in four businesses which earn
at least 25% of their turnover from exports.

Trade credit insurance market to polarise.
Law firm Clyde & Co has published an article which suggests that a series of high-profile commodity-trade fraud cases, trading company collapses and supply chain finance controversy,
coupled with a scaling back of working capital support from trade finance providers, has resulted in a more considered approach to trade credit insurance over the past 12-18 months.
It notes that cautiousness has intensified against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and supply chain disruption, and, in the year ahead, it expects to see a polarisation of the
trade credit insurance market as some underwriters continue to withdraw from writing trade-related risks instead preferring corporate loans and non-trade-related payment default risks.
For others, this represents opportunity; those underwriters that continue to write commodity business will exhibit a 'flight-to-quality' approach.

An unprecedented mix of challenges is bringing the global economy to the brink of recession. Atradius' latest Economic Outlook expects
global GDP growth to decrease to 1.2% in 2023, down from 2.9% in 2022 and anticipates that several key advanced markets — the US, the UK and the eurozone — will fall into recession in 2023.
In the Eurozone, GDP growth is predicted to contract by 0.1% in 2023 after a 3.1% increase in 2022. The UK is expected to see a 0.7% economic contraction in 2023, followed by a modest 1.8% rebound in 2024.
In the US, after a 1.8% growth rate in 2022, Atradius expects a 0.4% contraction in 2023. However, Atradius also warns that further energy price shocks, next to a vicious wage-price spiral in advanced
economies, would lead to a deeper global recession. In such a scenario, Atradius expects global growth to halve in 2023 (to 0.6%) and warns that this
would shave 2.3% off GDP in the US and 1.5% in the eurozone in 2023.

Global growth: Still heading towards a recession.
In its latest Economic Outlook 23-24, Allianz Trade anticipates that global GDP growth will slow to +1.4% in 2023 (from +2.9% in 2022), before recovering modestly to +2.8% in 2024.
However, there will be significant divergence across countries, with advanced economies registering a shallow recession of -0.1% in 2023 (after growth of +2.5% in 2022), followed by a rebound to below-potential growth of +1.5% in 2024.
In contrast, growth in emerging markets is expected to remain stable in 2023 at +3.3% (mainly supported by the cautious reopening of China), with a rebound to +4.3% growth expected in 2024.
In 2023, Allianz also expects global trade in goods and services to grow by only +0.7% in volume terms and contract by -1.3% in value terms (to USD 29.5 trillion).
However, a mild recovery should be possible in 2024.

Credendo downgrades eight countries as political instability bites. Commercial Risk has reported that Credendo has downgraded eight countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Djibouti, El Salvador, Haiti, Mongolia and Uganda.
The insurer said that, since its outbreak, the war in Ukraine has "sharply harmed" Bangladesh's liquidity, particularly through high commodity prices, while Haiti is on a "slippery slope" towards becoming a failed state.
Credendo also said that Uganda's short-term external debt had already been increasing significantly for several years and has now shown a further jump.
