International cooperation

The overall objective of Danish trade policy is continued and sustainable economic growth. EKF cooperates within international export credit forums to promote a set of common international rules. The aim of these rules is to ensure free, fair and equal competition between the export credit agencies (ECA) and thus also for exporters.

These equal terms of competition are secured by international agreements that define common rules for the ECAs’ activities. The ECAs also discuss current topics with the aim of reducing competition that is detrimental to sustainable development.

In the Paris Club, the ECAs collaborate with their governments to ensure equal terms for creditors when a country encounters payment difficulties.

EKF focuses on strengthening the cooperation with other ECAs in order to secure favourable business terms for Danish exporters. These terms are achieved through reinsurance agreements, product development and information sharing in international forums such as the EU, the OECD and the Berne Union.
