Credit crunch. If not the simple cause, the reduction in availability of credit has certainly been a very obvious symptom of the current world economic downturn. Right across the market, from banks to credit insurers to reinsurers, the amount of credit has been cut, sometimes dramatically. Right from the start, the UK Government, and in particular ECGD, the UK export credit agency, has looked hard at what could be done to help their exporters. They had many suggestions. On October 20 ECGD announced a letter of credit guarantee scheme to assist UK exporters by boosting the availability of short-term export finance. By December it was fully up and running.

Traders can begin the clearance process before goods arrive at the port. Because risk-based inspections apply, only about 2% of cargo is physically inspected. It takes only 5 days for goods to leave the factory, clear customs and be on a vessel heading to its destination.

The 2004 Spending Review may mark the end of much of the UK's export support, with the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) budget slashed and some 200 of 740 UKTI staff to be cut. To some observers, it seems that export support is dying the death of a thousand cuts. It is difficult to deny that severe cuts are being made in the support the government gives exporters. Traditionally, UKTI has offered support both to new exporters, and to those companies which are already exporting but want to address new markets. There does not seem to be any idea of what the total spend and staffing in the area is. But the easier explanation is that the government really has no idea just how much it is spending -- and that the Department of Trade and Industry has not got a firm grasp on how efficient its inve...
