Course questionnaire: is this trade credit or country risk?

Every question, its answer and the reasoning

1. True or false: a non-transfer cover responds when a foreign buyer can no longer obtain currency to pay the exporter.

2. True or false: when the debtor is a state-owned company, the unpaid debt automatically falls under political risk.

3. True or false: in a sovereign debt restructuring, the private exporter has no seat in any of the forums that decide how the debt is treated.

4. What first separates a public export credit agency from a private insurer?

5. A state reschedules its debt over ten years, at a below-market rate, leaving the nominal amount intact. Where is the creditor's loss?

6. An exporter agrees to be paid in goods, and a set-off clause extinguishes both debts. What does it hold afterward?
