Definition: Standardized guarantee

Category: SNA

Standardized guarantees issued in large numbers, usually for fairly small amounts, along identical lines. There are three parties involved in these arrangements, the debtor, the creditor and the guarantor. Either the debtor or creditor may contract with the guarantor to repay the creditor if the debtor defaults (§ 17.211). http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/SNA2008.pdf
