The global trade environment is increasingly volatile and uncertain, shaped by geopolitical tensions, rising protectionism and energy costs. For Chinese Small, and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which are critical for stabilising foreign trade and employment, navigating these external shocks presents major hurdles in gathering market intelligence, managing risks, and securing new orders.
To help SMEs build risk resilience, China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) and the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation jointly developed the China Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Export Risk Index (SMERI). Leveraging proprietary underwriting and claims data to capture crucial micro-level signals, SMERI evaluates export credit risks across four dimensions: Macro-economy, Trade Environment, Buyer Creditworthiness, and Payment Performance. It comprehensively covers 60 major markets, such as Southeast Asia, Europe and Americas, and nine key industries, including vital new export drivers like new energy, electronics and biopharmaceuticals.
This webinar translates SMERI’s complex data into actionable business insights. It highlights emerging export challenges and opportunities, equipping SMEs with practical risk management tools for strategic overseas expansion while providing policymakers with data-driven references for targeted trade support.
