Relending Facility

Relending Facility is a program to encourage foreign businessmen including end-users and dealers to purchase goods sold by Taiwan exporters. Basically it is a bank-to-bank arrangement through which EXIMBANK extends credit lines to local and foreign financial institutions who in turn relend funds to their clients for the importation of capital goods or consumer goods from Taiwan exporters.

Currently, a floating interest rate is applied to all eligible transactions under the Relending Facility Agreement. Any financial institutions interested in establishing a Relending Facility Agreement are welcome to send EXIMBANK an application letter along with their annual reports for the past three years. Main features of Relending Facility are described below.
