ECGD Cover Policies

The Export Credit Guarantee Department is the UK's public trade credit and political risk underwriter. For exporters, there's a premium calculator and a section that displays cover possibilities country-by-country, but Brits are stingy with the data -- you're better off visiting the Coface, Ducroire or even Exim sites. Where ECGD shines is with a link (hard to find, at the bottom of the page) to a spreadsheet showing premiums country-by-country for investment risks (expropriation, war, transfer). The higher the premium, the riskier the country.
