For evaluation performance of these ECAs, clustering techniques are used to put them in the categories according to their performance between 2005 to 2020 in the fourth quarter. The context of clustering shows the rank of each cluster, and then exporters can choose a better choice from them. Moreover, for reinsurance,other ECAs can find out which ECAs have high performance.
