Facts about EKN

EKN is a Swedish government agency that supports export companies and the internationalisation of Swedish business. We do this by offering export companies and banks gurantees för payment and financing, together with expert advice and guidance. Our services provide an extra level of confidence to any international venture, with strong benefits for all parties of the deal. 

We obtain payment for our services in the form of premiums. In other words, our business is premium-financed, the idea being that periods of surplus will finance periods of deficit. 

Our customers are export companies and banks. Our services involve offering state guarantees for the payment and financing of export transactions.

Most countries have their own equivalent of EKN.

Owner

EKN is an agency which comes under the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Our minister is the Minister for Trade, Ewa Björling.
