Intervention Categories: Finance policy and financial aid; Stimulus packages and financial support
Level of Jurisdiction: National
Overview: The Dutch Government has temporarily increased support measures for businesses who export goods or services from the Netherlands by making changes to its export insurance scheme.
The scheme allows export businesses to insure their transactions by the Dutch Government (e.g. if overseas buyers can no longer pay for goods due to civic or political unrest in their country).
The extended scheme allows businesses to get short-term loans (under 2 years) guaranteed by the Government, alongside additional export insurance coverage both domestically and overseas. The changes will remain in place until the end of 2020. The policy is intended to facilitate international trade and to prevent the loss of exports and jobs.
