A Strategic Partnership with ADNOC
Korea Trade Insurance Corp. (K-Sure) announced on Nov. 2 that it will provide Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with US$3 billion in financing.
K-Sure signed an MOU with ADNOC in Abu Dhabi. Under the agreement, K-Sure will provide up to US$3 billion in overseas business financial insurance from this date.
A K-Sure official said, “US$3 billion is the largest amount of mid- and long-term financial support from world export credit institutions this year.” He also added, “K-Sure is the only domestic financial institution to establish a strategic partnership with ADNOC.”
