Swedish Government proposes new financing instrument
The Swedish Government has proposed to introduce a new financing instrument that will combine export finance and grants.
The instrument is intended to contribute to social and economic development and welfare in countries that are eligible to receive official aid, while promoting Swedish interests.
The financing instrument will follow the OECD Arrangement rules for tied aid and support sustainable economic development and welfare in low and lower middle-income countries.
The details of the instrument will be specified in a separate regulation. A draft regulation has been sent to EKN and other referral stakeholders for consultation. In the proposal EKN will be responsible for the implementation of the instrument. We welcome potential input from our clients.
EKN will revert in due course with information on how and when this instrument can be utilised. Further information is available on the Swedish Government’s website..
