EDC Export Guarantee Program (EGP)

Export Development Canada · Federal

In plain language

The core EDC working-capital guarantee product — enables NL exporters to get more working capital from their own bank by having EDC share up to 75% of the lending risk. Guarantees up to US$25M (larger under Trade Impact envelope). Fee-based (0.75%–2% annually depending on risk), so it is a financing product, not free money — but it materially unlocks bank appetite for seasonal seafood, offshore supply, and manufacturing exporters whose receivables concentrate in a few foreign buyers. Work through the company's existing bank relationship manager; they file with EDC. Particularly relevant for NL offshore services and fisheries supply chain firms with receivables in Europe/Asia.
