​The financial crisis has meant that many buyers abroad are less creditworthy than they were in the past. This has caused private credit insurance companies to withdraw from export insurance in a number of countries and markets where they assess the risk of loss as being too high. EKF's reinsurance scheme is designed to help out Danish export companies affected by this situation.

The reinsurance agreement means that the credit insurance companies can reinsure risks with EKF, which reduces their risk. This then allows them to offer insurance cover to buyers they have previously had to turn down. EKF only covers sound buyers who would otherwise have been turned down. High-risk buyers are not covered by EKF.

The scheme applies to exports with credit periods of up to 180 days, and on condition that your company is a customer with a private credit insurance company, and that you meet EKF's requirements regarding environment and Danish economic interest.

EKF offers reinsurance for a range of countries outside the OECD. EU regulation prevents EKF from offering reinsurance inside the OECD.
