Finnvera
According to its 2018 annual report, in 2017, Finnvera granted, for the first time in many years, guarantees for exports to Iran. The guarantees were associated with short-term trade financing. At its highest, Finnvera’s Iran-related exposure amounted to more than EUR 60 million. Demand for export credit guarantees ceased in 2018 due to the challenging overall situation and the sanctions imposed by the United States.
