Alam Countertrade-Definition
“Countertrade refers to a range of barter-like
agreements used in international trade, where goods
and services are exchanged for other goods and
services without the use of money.”
----P. Buckley and M. Casson----
“Countertrade is a form of trade in which part or all
of the payment for goods or services is made in the
form of other goods or services rather than cash.”
----Michael R. Czinkota and Ilkka A. Ronkainen----

Alam Types of CountertradeTransaction
1. Barter: Barter is one of the oldest forms of trade,
wherein the transaction is contained in a single contract
and there is no exchange of money between the parties
in a transaction. Sometimes a small amount is paid to
cover special costs, or a down payment is made as a
guarantee
Slides
Prepared

Dr.
Mahtab
Alam 2. Counter Purchase: The counter purchase involves
an importer obtaining goods and services from an exporter with an
assurance that the exporter will purchase other specific goods or services
from the importer.
Under this arrangement, the exporting country under a primary sales
contract sells goods, technology, or services to the importing country, and
agrees as part of a secondary sales contract, to purchase from the importing
country within a specified period, which is normally 1-5 years, a specific value
of goods.
Slides

Dr.
Mahtab
Alam 3. Offset: In an offset agreement, importers require the contractors to
purchase a predetermined level of components from subcontractors located
within the importing country.
This type of countertrade is an offset agreement, also known as industrial
compensation or industrial cooperation. They are often observed in deals
involving aircraft and military equipment. The agreements usually portray an
exporter manufacturer agreeing to the importer’s terms like marketing their
products, final assembly of exported items in the importer’s country, and
buying other goods and services from the importer’s country.

Alam 4. Buyback (Compensation): Buyback or
Compensation is a countertrade mechanism where the supplier
of plant/equipment to a project/company in another country
assures buyback of certain quantities of products made with that
plant/equipment.

Alam 5. Switch Trading: Switch trading involves a
minimum of three parties. It enables one party to sell its obligation or
assurance to another party to a third party. For example, country X
exports its product to country Y. Country Y will ship other products to
another country Z, known as switch trader. Country Z, in turn, provides or
exports the product needed by country A.
Slides

Dr.

Alam 6. Clearing Arrangements: Clearing agreements
are entered when two nations encounter a coincidence of needs. They must
determine the type and quantity of goods that they wish to obtain from each
other and establish an exchange ratio to be used over the specified life of the
contract. The Agreed volume of goods are imported and exported by the
countries over a specific time period without the payment of foreign currencies.
If a country does not purchase enough goods to balance its accounts within the
set time limitation, it receives clearing credits. Although stated in terms of
currency, clearing credits cannot be redeemed for currency.

Alam 7. Debt-for-Goods: Debt-for-goods is a
countertrade transaction whereby a debtor country
offers its goods or services to avail funding or to cover
full or partial repayment of an outstanding debt. Under
this, the countertrade route can be utilized for
repayments of funded facilities extended to overseas
entities

Alam Factors Affecting Operations of
Nostro &Vostro Account
1. Exchange Rates: Exchange rate fluctuations can directly affect the
balance in both types of accounts, especially when they involve cross-border
transactions in different currencies.
2. Interest Rates: Interest rates in the currency held in a nostro or vostro
account can affect the returns on funds kept in these accounts, influencing
decisions about the volume and duration of deposits.
3. Banking Regulations: Different countries have specific banking
regulations that impact the operation of nostro and vostro accounts. For
example, limits on foreign currency transactions, capital controls, or restrictions
on the movement of money can affect how these accounts are used.
4. Counterparty Risk: The financial stability of the banks involved in the
nostro or vostro arrangement affects the safety and liquidity of funds. If one of
the banks faces a crisis, it may result in issues for both accounts.
Slides
Prepared
by:
Dr.
Mahtab
Alam 5. Transaction Costs and Fees: The cost of transferring funds, maintaining
accounts, and processing payments can differ based on the arrangement
between the two banks, influencing the cost-effectiveness of using these
accounts.
6. Political Stability and Economic Environment: Political or economic
instability in either the country of the nostro or vostro account can affect the
ability to conduct international transactions smoothly and impact the value
of funds in these accounts.
7. Payment Systems: The efficiency and security of the international
payment systems used (such as SWIFT or local equivalents) affect the speed
and cost of transferring money through these accounts.
8. International Trade Flows: The volume and frequency of international
trade between the two countries can influence the usage of these accounts.
A higher volume of trade leads to more transactions, which increases the need
for nostro and vostro accounts.
9. Liquidity Needs: The liquidity needs of the entities using the accounts
(banks or corporations) can affect how much money is held in each account
and for how long.
