Exports: Finance

Question

Her Majesty's Government what was the total value of export finance available by country, together with the amount that was allocated to projects, for each of the last four years.

Answer

Measures introduced in the 2016 Autumn Statement enable UKEF to increase export finance capacity for individual countries by up to 100%, subject to country reviews.

UKEF's public expression of current risk appetite for new business for each country is available on its website. It does not hold historical information about its public expression of risk appetite for each country, but the website notes where the risk appetite has been increased following the Autumn Statement.

UKEF publishes details of the support it provides by country on an annual basis on its website. Details of its support for the last year will be published once its 2016-17 Annual Report and Accounts are laid before Parliament.
