UK Export Finance (UKEF) has not previously 100% guaranteed any Export Development Guarantee (EDG) facilities.

In principle, consideration can be given to guarantee percentages above 80% where this is needed to ensure the success of the transaction, subject to ensuring that the guaranteed loan meets UKEF’s requirements including compliance with applicable subsidy control rules.
