EDC is dedicated to supporting Canadian businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We’ve adjusted the Foreign Exchange Facility Guarantee (FXG) to meet the current needs of Canadian businesses.
- EDC has traditionally focused on supporting companies that export their products and services. Due to the pandemic, that has changed. Until the end of 2021, EDC will be offering this solution to companies that do not export.
We use EDC’s Foreign Exchange Guarantee, which allows us to develop our markets without having to worry about currency risks and also provides pricing stability for our customers.
