For Egypt, when an exporter has concluded a commercial export contract with a Egyptian importer and the two parties do not know each other, the irrevocable and confirmed letter of credit is the most appropriate instrument to mitigate the risks.

For Egypt, the exporter must choose a confirming bank that has in its network of correspondents the Egyptian bank that is proposed by the importer but also the one that has an acceptable credit rating so that there is no default of payment from the confirming bank.
