UK Export Finance (UKEF) is a UK government ministerial department and the nation's export credit agency. It helps UK companies access and benefit from export finance: the loans, insurance policies and bank guarantees that enable international trade. It exists to complement, not compete with, the private sector, providing support that fills market gaps. Its mission is to ensure no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance, sustainably and at no net cost to the taxpayer. It aims to provide GBP 10 billion of clean growth finance and to mobilise GBP 10 billion in finance to low- and middle-income countries by 2029.
