 Reinsurance

A form of insurance where one insurance institution (e.g. an export credit agency) assumes part of the risk initially assured by insurance institution.  Reinsurance serves several functions, including as a means of spreading risk. 

 Repudiation

The refusal of a buyer to accept goods for which it has contracted (provided the non-acceptance is not caused by a breach of contract by the exporter).
