MLT export financing
What is MLT export financing?n MLT export financing is a medium-long-term (2-10 years) financing structure for
buying Hungarian goods and services, which is intended to provide financing allowing Hungarian exporters to get the consideration for their goods or services immediately after delivery.
n Hungarian exporters use MLT financing mainly for trade transactions including
machinery export (agricultural machines, custom instruments, high-value industrial equipment) and also for financing their general contractor activities (constructing health institutions, sports facilities, power plants, educational institutions, logistics centers and residential real estates), but there can be further tailor made solutions as well.
Typical financing structure of MLT export financing
n This facility allows requesting medium-long-term financing for up to 85% of the
export contract value.
n Euro and US dollar are the two most typical currencies used in relation to this
Conditions for MLT export financing
Collateral generally used in MLT export financingn Magyar Exporthitel Biztosító Zrt. (MEHIB) provides credit insurance up to
90-95% of the financed amount, while the risks associated with the 5-10% residual value are shared among the exporter, the importer, the commercial bank and credit insurance company.
n Based on the risk assessment of the transaction the Bank/MEHIB may ask for
further collateral.
MEHIB-insurance
n In compliance with the requirements set forth in Government Decree No.
312/2001. (XII. 28), having a specific Hungarian origin is a precondition to the provision of the MEHIB insurance: the minimum quota for Hungarian origin is set 25% for general contractor contracts related to construction or assembly work exceeding EUR 5 million and at least 50% in all other cases.
n Eligible borrowers include government and municipal buyers, banks and private
buyers and SPVs based on the country risk
n An advance payment equal to at least 15% of the commercial contract must be
made available (in the form of a cash payment or bank guarantee) not later than the delivery date under the commercial contract (starting point)

money from its bank when it (partially) delivers under the export contract.
