Study on external and internal climate change policies for export credit and insurance agencies

Perspectives' new study on Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) reviews external policies and standards as well as internal policies and commitments that may affect ECAs’ portfolios, specifically their support to fossil fuel and low-carbon technology projects. The study shows that there is a severe lack of domestic and international policies to decarbonise officially supported export credits which still provide large amounts of public finance support to fossil fuel projects. While some ECAs have started taking first steps to decarbonise their portfolios the speed of this process must be urgently ramped up.
