The organisation reported passing $2.72bn in guarantees this year, and it also supported $4.1bn in insured goods and services. Moreover, the latest figures underline its growing role in strengthening non-oil trade and enhancing the competitiveness of national exporters. During Abu Dhabi Finance Week, CEO Raja Al Mazrouei explained that the agency has continued to build momentum as it works to widen access to global markets. She emphasised that these milestones reflect the impact of ongoing financial and operational initiatives.
Boost to SMEs Through Export Acceleration
Al Mazrouei highlighted progress in advancing small and medium-sized enterprises through the “Xport Xponential” initiative, which has delivered over $47.65m in financing. In addition, the programme has connected businesses to four international markets with export potential valued at more than $1.1bn. She said: “At Etihad Credit Insurance, we continue to support Emirati companies as they expand beyond the country, and we are pleased to have achieved these record figures in guarantees and in the value of insured products.”
Furthermore, she noted that the institution has reinforced its technology infrastructure by linking more than 400 million corporate data records worldwide. This expanded access helps exporters assess potential risks as they explore new destinations.
Outlook for 2026 and Beyond
Looking ahead, Al Mazrouei expects 2026 to bring additional economic partnerships that will, in turn, open new export corridors. She also anticipates broader support for SMEs as the “Xport Xponential” programme scales further. The organisation is currently collaborating with more than 50 partners within the SME financing ecosystem, and it plans to grow this network in the coming period so companies can navigate emerging markets more effectively.
