Dr. Fabian Herdter, LL.M. Eur.
Mit Exportkreditgarantien können Unternehmen Schutz für Forderungsausfälle in kritischen Ausfuhrprojekten erhalten – etwa wenn Großaufträge in politisch instabilen Weltregionen geplant sind. Doch anders als bei üblichen, kommerziellen Kreditversicherungen ist nicht ein Versicherer der Risikoträger, sondern der Staat. Entsprechend unterliegen die Verfahren in der Exportkreditgarantie auch nicht den bekannten versicherungsrechtlichen Grundsätzen und Rechtsmitteln. In seinem Vortrag bei der Veranstaltung „Kreditrisiken 2024“ des Gesamtverbands der versicherungsnehmenden Wirtschaft erläuterte Dr. Fabian Herdter die Fallstricke der Hermesdeckungen.
