Export Development Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Export Development Canada (EDC) is Canada's export credit agency and a Crown corporation that offers assistance and services (such as loans and insurance) to Canadian exporters who wish to export goods or services.
Since 2005, EDC has maintained a partnership with Compagnie française d'assurance pour le commerce extérieur (COFACE) for the provision of domestic accounts receivable insurance to Canadian businesses, since EDC is not permitted to do so under its mandate. Similarly, EDC has partnered with Northstar Trade Finance to provide administrative support for Northstar financing transactions to foreign buyers of Canadian goods and services.
EDC also publishes a quarterly magazine for Canadian Exporters, ExportWise ( Exportateurs avertis in French).
