Business descriptionEDC is Canada's public export credit agency. The corporation's mandate is to promote Canadian exports by providing investment andcredit insurance, export finance, lease financing, loan and bond guarantees, and equity investments. The nature of EDC's businessexposes it to diverse commercial and sovereign risks, all of which are ultimately underwritten by the Canadian government.

The company has two major lines of business:

Export financing: EDC provides loans to buyers of Canadian goods and services to both Canadian and international importers andexporters (for example, a loan to a US airline to purchase Canadian-made regional jets). It also provides guarantees to Canadian banksthat lend to buyers of Canadian goods and services and has a small portfolio of equity investments in Canadian exporters.

Export insurance: EDC provides credit insurance, contract insurance and bonding, and political risk insurance to Canadian exporters.With respect to credit insurance, EDC protects exporters of goods and services trading on credit terms of up to a year againstnonpayment because of commercial and political risks. With respect to contract insurance and bonding, EDC provides cover for saleson exposure terms usually greater than one year and includes export credit insurance and guarantees, performance guarantees andsurety, extending cover for risks inherent in performance related obligations. EDC also provides a fairly limited amount of political riskinsurance for equity and other investments abroad.
