 | Hello members 
 NZ Export Credit has been approached to provide short term cover on Empresa Publica De Hidrocarburos Del Ecuador. (EP Petro Ecuador).
 
 Do any of the members have experience with this counterparty? We seek your advice.
 
 Thanks
 
 Phil Quinn

 | Dear colleagues, 
 regarding short-term cover on Empresa Publica De Hidrocarburos Del Ecuador we have one whole-turnover cover policy. We have no negative payment experience, so far.
 
 Kind regards

 | Thanks so much for the response Andrea and Euler Hermes. Can I just ask how long your cover has been in place for and when it expires?
 The reason I ask is that S&P reports indicate significant problems for Ecuador to finance and roll over its external debt in 2026.
 
 Best regards
 
 Phil

 | Dear Phil, 
 The limit was granted some years ago (2020). However, there was no recent turnover covered, so the limit is currently not in use.
