About Us
Founded 1919 Industry Government & Public Administration Link UK EXPORT FINANCE website We are the UK’s export credit agency and a government department, working alongside the Department for International Trade as an integral part of its strategy and operations. We work with over 100 private credit insurers and lenders to help UK companies access export finance (the particular class of loans, insurance policies or bank guarantees that enable international trade to take place as easily and securely as possible). We exist to complement not compete with the private sector. The principal role of the Department is to support UK companies exporting to foreign markets by providing insurance, loans and guarantees against non-payment or non-performance by UK exporters and overseas buyers. To perform its statutory function, UKEF must assume significant credit risks on behalf of UK exporters. Consequently, the financial success of the Department is crucially dependent upon sound credit risk assessment, particularly given the elevated default risks associated with emerging markets. The Risk Approval Division (RAD) is responsible for providing probability of default (PD) ratings and loss given default (LGD) assessments on all risks assumed by the Department.
