UK defence finance boosts support for British exporters, says UKEF Director Carl Williamson

Today, the global economy is surrounded by geopolitical uncertainty and shifting trade patterns. In this, UK Export Finance (UKEF) stands as a critical pillar supporting British exporters as they venture into global markets. UKEF primarily provides guarantees to financial institutions, enabling them to lend to businesses involved in international trade and export. In March 2025, the UK government announced a decision to increase UKEF's capacity by a third to £80 billion, signalling its commitment to positioning British businesses as formidable players on the international stage.To learn more about Britain's export strategy, Deepesh Patel, the editor of Trade Treasury Payment (TTP), spoke with Carl Williamson, the Director for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) and Trade Finance at UKEF. Williamson has an extensive background of over 30 years in banking before joining UKEF six years ago, and he now oversees the UK's export credit agency's financial support mechanisms. View the article here:
