Exporters' Club and Chambers of Commerce create a guide for internationalization

Thanks to the "perfect communication" between the government, the Chambers of Commerce, and the Exporters' Club, the guide "Support for Internationalization: Financial Instruments," the result of collaboration between the Spanish Exporters and Investors Club and the Higher Council of Chambers of Commerce, was publicly launched last week. Following "our main objective, which is to support and promote internationalization," explained Balbino Prieto, president of the Club, "we have created a living, dynamic, and up-to-date tool that aims to go beyond the previous catalog." The new guide replaces the previous "Catalog of Financial Instruments to Support Internationalization," which the Club developed in 2000 at the request of the State Secretariat for Trade. "Our work doesn't end here. There is a firm commitment to internationalization, especially for SMEs," added Balbino Prieto at the publication's launch. "The book aims to contribute to its dissemination, because without the tools we mention, we couldn't provide it with content," he concluded. Praise for the Club's Work. The event was also attended by the President of the Higher Council of Chambers of Commerce, Javier Gómez-Navarro, and the Secretary of State for Tourism and Trade, Pedro Mejía. Both highlighted the Club's work, especially in the year it celebrates its tenth anniversary. "The Club is more than just a club," Mejía began, alluding to Prieto with this well-known phrase from the world of football. The Secretary of State emphasized the need to disseminate knowledge so that it is truly effective. "This effort will never be enough," he insisted, adding that it is surprising how many "highly international" companies "are unaware of the resources available to them through ICEX or the Chambers of Commerce, for example." Furthermore, Pedro Mejía referred to the "First Economic Report of the Prime Minister," which José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero presented a couple of weeks ago. "We have made significant progress, but internationalization processes need improvement. The Prime Minister referred to the external deficit, and this Ministry is fully open to any input," Mejía stated. Gómez-Navarro, the first to speak, praised the Guide's usefulness because it facilitates "knowledge of more than one hundred instruments" available to exporters. "It is essential that these types of documents be distributed as widely as possible because 99% of SMEs are unaware of these instruments and end up relying on specialized investment-generating entities to use them," he argued.
