Export Credit Guarantee Department         
The ECGD of the Department of Industry and Trade is the primary source of official British export credit. The ECGD helps exporters by providing: (a) insurance against the risk of not being paid for exports and (b) guarantees to banks for exporters of capital goods, under which finance can be obtained for export business, often at a favorable rate of interest. Subject to Parliamentary approval, ECDG's short-term underwriting division, the Insurance Service Group, is to be privatized. The medium and long-term underwriting group is introducing a new system for assessing premiums which will more realistically reflect the risk involved. The Department was originally established in 1919; headquarters are in London, England.
