Key eligibility criteria for project and structured finance

We financially support Australian exports of goods and services and international infrastructure development in our region.

In order to provide finance, we must confirm that there is benefit flowing to Australia in connection with the contract or project we support. An important consideration when assessing this benefit is the economic activity stimulated in Australia by the presence of Australian content associated with a project or transaction. Australian content constitutes all inputs to a project or transaction that does not originate overseas.

We also take into account other benefits to Australia. These other benefits can include, but are not limited to:

• greater Australian participation in international supply chains
• access to new markets or export opportunities for Australian businesses
• more Australian jobs
• payment of dividends or other financial proceeds from overseas to Australia
• new research and development expenditure in Australia
• Australian access to new products, intellectual property or technology.

You can contact us for more information.

We incorporate two globally-recognised approaches in our environmental and social assessment of transactions:

1. The OECD Recommendation of the Council on Common Approaches for Officially Supported Export Credits and Environmental and Social Due Diligence (the Common Approaches)
2. the Equator Principles.
