I. Переведите с английского языка на русский:

At the beginning of the year an export credit insurance agency began its activity in Poland. This was necessary because Polish trade with the former CMEA countries is now calculated in convertible currency. In order to protect Polish exporters effectively against economic as well as political risks the Korporacja Ubezpieczen Kredytow Exportowych/ KUKE (Export Credit Insurance corporation) was established in Warsaw.

The company operates on a commercial basis. It comprises the State (Ministry of Finance and Ministry for Economic Cooperation with Foreign Counties), the National Bank of Poland, Bank Handlowy w. Warszawie SA, the Bank for Export Development, the Tourist Bank, the WARTA insurance company and several foreign trade organizations.

The starting capital was zl. 30 bn. The company planned to increase it to zl.100 bn during the first year. In the first instance only an office in Warsaw was opened. Later, however, KUKE intends to establish branches in some other major Polish cities.

London is one of the biggest centres of banking in the world. The first bankers in Britain were Italians from Lombardy. They loaned a lot of money to British kings, but the loans were not repaid. So they went bankrupt and left London. But their name is still alive there. The street where Lombards settled down a few centuries ago is called Lombard Street. This is the street where the head offices of the biggest English and foreign banks are located. Moscow Narodny Bank has its head office in 81 King William Street which is very close to Lombard Street.

5. Прочитайте и переведите текст:

SWIFT, the society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, is a non-profit bank-owned, cooperative society. It was set up in Brussels in 1973 and now it has more than a thousand member banks in more than fifty countries including our country. Vnesheconombank has been a member bank since 1987.

SWIFT is a service organization which processes and transmits banking transactions electronically between member banks on all the five continents.

Electronic systems transfer large sums around the world quickly and effectively. In this way a new type of international banking is being established.

But payment procedures in international trade still rely heavily on paper-based documents. And specialists say that one day all the data of invoices, shipping documents, various receipts and other documents will be provided in computer form instead. No paper documents will be used any longer. All the information will be sent electronically.

This will certainly lead to a lot of technical problems.
