Euler Hermes Says It’s Reviewing Greek Export Coverage

Euler Hermes SA, a French-German trade-credit insurer, said it may reduce its coverage of exports to Greece because of the risk of the country exiting the euro. A decision is planned before the end of May.
“In light of the recent developments, Euler Hermes will most probably have to switch to a more prudent approach, also in the interest of its customers,” spokeswoman Bettina Sattler said in an e-mailed response to questions. “The outcome of the new elections in June remains highly uncertain. Consequently, the situation is further deteriorating. The risk of Greece exiting the Eurozone has been revived.”
