For Eritrea, when an exporter has concluded a commercial export contract with a Eritrean 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 Eritrea, the exporter must choose a confirming bank that has in its network of correspondents the Eritrean 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.

A letter of credit issued in Eritrea is usually confirmed by a big number of banks which are prepared to take the risks of Eritrean banks and make sure the beneficiary of the LC or exporter obtain his payment.
