‘수출성장 플래닛’은 현재는 내수 중심 기업이지만 앞으로 수출기업으로 성장 잠재력이 큰 유망 중소·중견 기업을 기존 수출 실적을 기준으로 3단계로 나눠 맞춤형으로 지원하는 사업이다.

 

올해는 일반기계, 자동차부품 등 주력 품목뿐 아니라, K푸드, K뷰티, 방산 등 다양한 분야의 42개 기업이 선정됐다.

 

선정 기업에 대해서는 ▲최대 100억 원의 제작자금 특별보증 ▲수출 보험·보증료 최대 90% 할인 ▲보험책정 한도 2배 상향 ▲수입업자 신용조사 등을 계약-제작-선적-수출대금 회수 등 수출 전 주기에 걸쳐 최장 15년 동안 특별무역금융을 제공한다.

 

정인교 통상교섭본부장은 “수출 우상향 모멘텀을 지속해 나가기 위해서는 대기업뿐만 아니라 중소·중견 기업의 역할도 매우 중요하다”면서 “최근 고금리와 글로벌 공급망 재편 과정에서 수출 중소·중견기업의 기초체력이 많이 약화된 상황이어서 정부는 금융, 마케팅, 물류 등 모든 가용역량을 집중해 중소·중견기업 수출 확대를 지원하겠다”고 밝혔다.

 

장영진 무보 사장은 “이번 수출성장 플래닛은 이전에 없던 혁신적인 무역보험 프로그램으로, 지원 대상기업을 향후 3년 동안 100개 사로 확대해 나갈 계획”이라고 밝혔다.

42 small and medium-sized companies with promising exports selected... Special guarantee of up to KRW 10 billion

 

‘Export Growth Planet’ launching ceremony... Support for the entire export process, including financial guarantees and insurance premium discounts

 

[Inside the case / Reporter Moon Hong-cheol] = Customized support, such as special guarantees worth up to 10 billion won and export insurance and guarantee fee discounts of up to 90%, will be provided to help small and medium-sized companies focused on domestic demand grow into global export companies.

 

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 8th that the launching ceremony of ‘Export Growth Plan (Plan it)’, a special trade finance support program for small and medium-sized companies with promising exports, was held hosted by the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation with the participation of Head of Trade Negotiation Headquarters Jeong In-kyo.

 

About 100 people attended this launch ceremony, including Mubo President Jang Young-jin, Lee Ho-jun, Vice President of the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises, Jeong Yun-mo, Vice President of the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Businesses, and representatives of small and medium-sized businesses.

 

‘Export Growth Planet’ is a project that provides customized support to promising small and medium-sized companies that are currently domestically focused but have great growth potential as export companies by dividing them into three stages based on their existing export performance.

 

This year, 42 companies from various fields such as K-food, K-beauty, and defense were selected, as well as major items such as general machinery and automobile parts.

 

For selected companies, ▲special guarantee for production funds of up to 10 billion won ▲up to 90% discount on export insurance and guarantee fees ▲insurance limit increased by 2 times ▲importer credit investigation, etc. throughout the entire export cycle including contract, production, shipment, and recovery of export payment Special trade finance is provided for up to 15 years.

 

Jeong In-kyo, head of the Trade Negotiation Headquarters, said, “In order to continue the upward momentum of exports, the role of not only large corporations but also small and medium-sized companies is very important,” adding, “The basic strength of small and mid-sized export companies has been greatly weakened due to recent high interest rates and the process of reorganizing the global supply chain.” “The government will then focus all available capabilities, including finance, marketing, and logistics, to support the expansion of exports by small and medium-sized businesses,” he said.

 

Youngjin Jang, CEO of Mubo, said, “This Export Growth Planet is an innovative trade insurance program that has never been seen before, and we plan to expand the number of companies eligible for support to 100 over the next three years.”
