Credit Risk Guarantee

A Credit Risk Guarantee insures the exporter against credit loss related to an export transaction. The guarantee covers either the risks due to cancellation of the delivery contract prior to the delivery or the credit risk arising from the buyer (commercial risks) or the buyer's country (political and sovereign risks).

The guarantee can be granted for individual export transactions or for continuous deliveries. It can be used for export transactions with a short-term or a medium/long-term credit period. Cover percentage is normally 75-90 %.

As an official export credit agency Finnvera can’t grant guarantees with a risk period of less than 2 years (manufacturing period + repayment period) to the following markets:

• EU countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom)
• Australia, Canada, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, USA
