Consequently, the aim of this work is to examine the instruments of short-term export financing and the forms of medium-term financing, taking into account the risk hedging costs for decision-making in export business with Belarus. The risks are covered by export credit guarantees issued by the Federal Republic of Germany. Export financing is provided through supplier credits for the purposes of competitive differentiation. All instruments examined were used to refinance supplier credits. Such decision methods as cost comparison and SWOT analysis are used to determine the appropriate instrument. After the SWOT analysis, risks, opportunities and such important criteria as security, liquidity inflow, creditworthiness requirements and administrative expenses are assessed. The use of the SWOT analysis reduces the probability of a risk or opportunity miscalculation and thus of a wrong decision.
