Compensation deal
A type of countertrade that involves the exports of goods in one direction. The payment of the goods is split into two parts:
- Part payment in cash by the importer.
- For the rest of the payment the original exporter makes an obligation to purchase some of the buyer´s goods.
The products of the compensation deal can be used in the exporter´s internal production or they may be sold on in the wider market. See countertrade.
