Overseas Companies: Ukraine

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support UK companies unable to secure insurance coverage for business operations in Ukraine.

Answered by Gareth Thomas

My department works closely with businesses to understand the needs of UK companies wishing to operate in Ukraine. Support is available on https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/support-for-uk-businesses-helping-to-rebuild-ukraine, which references potential options for insurance.

UK Export Finance (UKEF) continues to provide risk insurance for UK exporters trading with Ukraine.
