EXPORT SUPPORT SYSTEM IN GERMANY: SET UP APPROACH

Abstract

Support for export activities has been the focus of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany for many years. Since the launch of the «three pillars system» in 1971, considerable experience has been accumulated in testing and implementing export support mechanisms. An important feature of the German export support system is the significant role, in addition to state institutions, of «intermediary organizations» –such as the AHK, GTAI, GIZ and others. In many ways, the success of German exports is due to the effective interaction of government agencies, private business and advisory / public associations. Germany’s systematic approach to implementing the policy of supporting export-oriented SMEs in priority export industry areas deserves special attention. The purpose of the article is to identify the strengths of the German export support system. The study of the accumulated foreign experience may be of interest for the further development of domestic exports, including in the context of the ongoing reform of the relevant institutions for supporting and facilitating export activities.
