The Swedish Export Credit Agency (Exportkreditnämnden, EKN) is a government agency founded in 1933 with the mission to promote Swedish exports and the internationalization of Swedish business. It achieves this by providing state-backed guarantees that protect against the risk of non-payment in export transactions. EKN's guarantees enable Swedish companies to secure financing and undertake larger and more complex international business deals, thereby sharing the financial risk with both exporting companies and banks.
