"Turkmenistan's ICIEC membership marks the onset of a relationship that is both exciting for ICIEC and beneficial for the economy and people of Turkmenistan. ICIEC's risk mitigation and credit enhancement services will act as catalysts for the strengthening and diversification of the country's economy, supporting both increased exports and inward investment. ICIEC's services will allow exporters, banks and investors - from member and non-member countries alike - to cover political and commercial risks related to their operations in Turkmenistan", stated Oussama KAISSI, ICIEC CEO.
