Etihad Credit Insurance has recorded more than AED10 billion in guarantees this year as demand for export protection and trade support continues to rise across the UAE economy.
CEO Raja Al Mazrouei said the insurer also covered over AED15 billion worth of exported goods and services, reflecting growing confidence among Emirati companies expanding into global markets. She spoke to the Emirates News Agency during Abu Dhabi Finance Week and highlighted significant progress in supporting small and medium sized enterprises.
Al Mazrouei noted that the Xport Xponential initiative has provided over AED175 million in financing to SMEs and connected them to four international markets with export potential of more than AED4 billion. She said this support is helping local companies scale faster and access competitive overseas opportunities.
She added that the organisation has strengthened its technological infrastructure by linking more than 400 million corporate data records worldwide. This enhanced ecosystem allows the insurer to better assess trade risks in each market targeted by UAE exporters.
Looking ahead, Al Mazrouei said 2026 is expected to bring additional UAE economic partnerships that will open new export destinations. She also anticipates wider support for SMEs through the Xport Xponential programme as the company expands collaboration with more than 50 partners in the SME financing network, with new additions planned in the coming period.
