A comprehensive new assessment has revealed the significant impact of UK Export Finance (UKEF) on British businesses and the broader economy. The study demonstrates that exports supported by UKEF contributed an impressive £23 billion to the UK economy, underlining the crucial role of government-backed export credit in facilitating international trade.

The research examined both the number and nature of businesses utilising UKEF support, providing valuable insights into how export finance mechanisms are driving British commercial success overseas. This substantial economic contribution highlights the importance of accessible export credit facilities for UK companies seeking to expand their global footprint.

The study’s findings come at a pivotal time for UK trade, as businesses increasingly look to diversify their international partnerships and explore new markets worldwide.
