For almost seventy years, Export Finance Australia has backed Australian trade with the world.
In the beginning that meant wool. Making sure Australian growers got paid despite the risks of shipping half way around the globe.
Today, our role has grown. We help Australian businesses of all types and sizes to export, expand into new markets, win work overseas, and participate in global supply chains.
We do it because trade matters to all of us. It supports 1 in 4 Australian jobs and around half our national GDP.
Export Finance Australia is the Australian government's trade and strategic finance agency.
Backing exporters and deploying finance to strengthen Australia's economy.
That means helping businesses compete globally. From the grower to the engineer.
It also means using strategic finance to deliver national priorities that strengthen Australia's economy, security and regional partnerships.
Today, we support infrastructure, critical minerals, defence, regional investment partnerships and strategically important materials.
We work alongside government, banks and businesses using a broad finance toolkit that includes loans, guarantees, bonds, insurance and equity.
In a more complex world, Australia needs practical finance that turns global opportunity, into lasting economic value.
We're helping finance an economically resilient Australia, confident in its place at the heart of world trade.
Because no one takes on the world alone.
