Export Finance Norway
Export Financing Norway (Eksfin) is a Norwegian Export Credit Agency established on 1 July, 2021.[1][2]
Eksfin replaced Eksportkreditt and the Guarantee Institute for Export Credits (GIEK) on July 1, 2021. As an ECA, Eksfin supports schemes for exports in the form of loan and guarantee arrangements.[3][4] Eksfin occupies a comparable role to other ECAs such as EKN (Sweden) and UKEF (United Kingdom).
Eksfin does not provide grants but offers guarantees and loans on commercial terms in collaboration with banks. Eksfin's mandate is to achieve financial balance over time.[5]
Foreign buyers can obtain financing for the purchase of Norwegian goods and services through Eksfin. This financing scheme is frequently used, for example, by foreign fish farmers purchasing Norwegian equipment.[6]
Shipping companies that order vessels from Norwegian shipyards, or foreign shipyards with Norwegian equipment on board, are eligible for long-term loans from Eksfin.[7][8]
