EKN is commissioned by the government to promote Swedish exports and the internationalisation of Swedish companies. We do so by insuring export companies and banks against the risk of non-payment in export transactions, thereby enabling them to conduct more secure export transactions. Our activities are financed by the guarantee holders' premiums.
We make difficult markets accessible and export transactions possible. Our activities encompass export transactions in 120 different countries, and the companies we help range from small companies to large groups. EKN has existed since 1933, and has a broad network which includes banks, EKN's counterparts in other countries and other export-promoting organisations.
