Abstract

The Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica approved the new Asset-Based Securities Law, which includes various legal and financial figures, to the effect that they can be assigned to financial intermediaries, as collateral instruments. First of all, SMEs, often unable to offer asset security, are not creditworthy. As a consequence, these institutions lack of financial resources to carry out their projects. Here, we deal only with documentary letter of credit, stand-by letters credit, and others in order to complement the special regulations of this law with international uses and customs of the International Chamber of Commerce. We point out some friction between the articles of the Law 9246, the Model Law of the O.A.S. and some Costa Rican practices. Similarly, some options are recommended to implement this law which will come into effect in May 2015. On top of that, the author will present two possible scenarios by which a documentary letter of credit or a documentary letter of creditcan be issued in favor of a SME, in order to facilitate its understanding.
