How ‘safe’ is the WTO ‘safe haven’? A need to modernise disciplines for officially supported export credits

Why do WTO and OECD disciplines on officially supported export credits need reform to provide a credible ‘safe haven’?

Bob Jennekens and Andreas Klasen · Journal of International Trade Law and Policy 22(1), 1–14 · 2022

Abstract

The article argues that the regulatory framework for officially supported export credits urgently needs reform to create a new and comprehensive ‘safe haven’. Drawing on legal, economic and political science literature and on WTO and OECD documents, it analyses the debate on the carve-out clause of the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and provides a reference point for future analysis.
