The coronavirus pandemic significantly increased demand for Finnvera’s SME financing. Export financing decreased a little over one fifth from last year. Finnvera’s result in January-June showed a loss. The loss was caused by the significant credit loss provisions in export credit guarantee and special guarantee operations, made as a result of the pandemic.
