INDIRECT EXPORT [6 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Finance
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

A financial benefit granted by a government to producers of goods often to strengthen their competitive position.

CONT

The effect of a government subsidy is to lower the final price of a product or service, which is why subsidies can become an international trade issue. The most common examples are direct payments by government to industry to help finance a large-scale project such as a major oil project, to help fund the costs of developing a new technology, to investigate foreign markets, or to locate an activity in a slow-growth region of the country. Subsidies can consist of grants, low-interest loans, or tax incentives.

OBS

The subsidy may be direct(e. g., a cash grant) or indirect(e. g., low-interest export credits guaranteed by a government agency).

French

Domaine(s)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

Export sales by a domestic firm to a foreign purchaser via a domestically based intermediary.

OBS

Indirect exporting is often a first step taken to avoid errors and not waste resources whilst the volume involved is not large enough to justify the existence of an expert within the company concerned. The disadvantage is that the company loses margin, has less control over their clients and does not gain experience.

DEF

Exportación realizada a través de un intermediario en el país de origen.
