WHAT DOES ECGD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

UK Export Finance

UK Export Finance is the operating name of the Export Credits Guarantee Department, the United Kingdom's Export Credit Agency. It operates as a ministerial department of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and reports to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills. ECGD derives its powers from the 1991 Export and Investment Guarantees Act and undertakes its activities in accordance with a specific consent from HM Treasury. ECGD was established in 1919 to promote UK exports lost during the submarine blockade of World War I. ECGD's aim is to benefit the UK economy by helping exporters of UK goods and services to win business, and UK firms to invest overseas, by providing guarantees, insurance and reinsurance against loss, taking into account HM Government’s wider international policy agenda. ECGD is required by HM Government to operate on a slightly better than break-even basis, charging exporters premium at levels that match the perceived risks and costs in each case.
