Amsterdam, Netherlands (ots/PRNewswire) -

Atradius Collections, the global expert in domestic and
international debt collections, releases an updated and expanded
version of the International Debt Collections Handbook which today
covers 31 countries. For a first it includes the Slovak Republic,
Romania, Sweden and Tunisia and can be downloaded for free on

This version is an update of the 2011 spring edition which had
also undergone an important expansion by having China and Hong Kong
included for a first. The International Debt Collections Handbook was
originally created in 2009 and is constantly updated and expanded by
collection experts to reflect changes in the markets.

"With international trade as a key revenue driver, businesses are
in need of more insight into the B2B collection practices of foreign
countries. Atradius Collections is keeping up with the developments
by continuously providing information around more and more
countries," says Ralph van Dijk, Global Commercial Director at
Atradius Collections. "With economic conditions across the globe
still uncertain and insolvency rates beginning to rise again,
maintaining and protecting cash flow is essential. Knowledge around
the collections procedures becomes vital for the survival of a
business with outstanding foreign debt, in particular when it needs
to collect. The Handbook is an essential resource for information on
a successful approach in handling foreign debts, especially in
organisations which lack in-house resources in international
collections or credit management."

The International Debt Collections Handbook explains the
diversity and complexity of country-specific B2B debt collection and
gives insight over the different stages of amicable settlement,
financial regulations around collections, legal proceedings and
insolvency procedures. The handbook is written by experts in
country-specific debt collection procedures and legislation. Their
expertise is based on years of experience and collecting
internationally at Atradius Collections. The 5th edition of the
International Debt Collections Handbook can be accessed by visiting
