The top 10 export credit agencies for project finance in 2026 are UKEF, US EXIM, JBIC, NEXI, KEXIM, Euler Hermes, Bpifrance Assurance Export, SACE, SERV and KUKE. ECAs lend directly, or they guarantee or insure commercial bank loans tied to exports from their home country.
For sponsors, ECA support usually means longer tenors, lower pricing and access to markets commercial banks will not take alone. The trade-off is procurement. Cover follows the equipment and services sourced from the ECA's country.
Export contract. The project buys equipment or services from an exporter in the ECA's country.
Covered loan. A commercial bank lends to the buyer or project. The ECA guarantees or insures most of the risk, or lends directly.
Long tenor. Repayment is spread over the asset's life, often well beyond what an uncovered bank loan allows.
UKEF guaranteed a £746 million buyer credit facility arranged by Citi to redevelop two Nigerian ports in March 2026, per Mayer Brown. It is flexible on content rules and active across Africa and the Gulf.
EXIM's board approved a $2.9 billion, 13-year senior secured loan for Perpetua's Stibnite project in May 2026 under its Make More in America initiative, according to the company's SEC filing. Critical minerals are a stated priority.
JBIC committed up to about $990 million of project finance to Qatar's Facility E power and desalination project in January 2026. The total co-financing came to roughly $2.97 billion. JBIC suits large energy and infrastructure deals with Japanese sponsors or suppliers.
NEXI insured a $1.885 billion financing for a US gas generation project linked to data centre demand in May 2026, reported by TXF. It usually works alongside JBIC on the commercial bank tranche.
Korea Eximbank co-financed Qatar Facility E and signed a $500 million facility with the Asian Development Bank for critical minerals projects in 2026. It pairs with K-SURE insurance on Korean EPC-led projects.
Germany's export credit guarantees, managed by Euler Hermes, backed DZ BANK's largest Euler Hermes Shopping Line, which closed in April 2026. It fits projects buying German turbines, machinery and grid equipment.
Bpifrance supported the financial close of a UK nuclear reactor in 2025, according to GTR. It also backs African water and power deals tied to French contractors.
SACE covered the loan funding Sonangol's equity in Angola's NeGaCo gas project, its first deal sized on that structure. SACE is known for creative structures, including equity bridge and untied support.
Switzerland's SERV reinsured Deutsche Bank's cover on substation works in Guinea, per UKEF's June 2026 disclosure. It often participates through reinsurance in multi-ECA deals.
Poland's KUKE guaranteed, with UKEF, the loan for a 390 MW solar portfolio in Turkey, reported by PV Tech. It is a growing option for projects sourcing from Central Europe.
Start with the supply chain. The EPC contract and equipment list decide which ECAs can participate. Map content by country before approaching banks.
Expect environmental and social review. Most ECAs screen projects against international standards and publish category disclosures, so the ESIA must be bankable early.
