Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI) has issued over AED10 billion (more than $2.72 billion) in coverages and guarantees since the start of 2025, according to CEO Raja Al Mazrouei. She said the total value of UAE goods and services insured through the company has now exceeded AED15 billion.
Al Mazrouei highlighted ECI’s progress in strengthening support for small and medium-sized enterprises through its “Xport Xponential” programme. She noted that the initiative has enabled more than AED175 million in financing for SMEs and connected participating businesses to four international markets with a combined export potential of more than AED4 billion.
“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,” she said.
Al Mazrouei also pointed to recent upgrades in ECI’s technological capabilities. The organisation has integrated access to more than 400 million corporate data records globally, helping it assess trade risks in markets targeted by UAE exporters.
Looking ahead, she said 2026 is expected to bring new economic partnerships for the UAE, creating further opportunities for exporters. She added that support for SMEs under the “Xport Xponential” programme is set to increase, with the company now working alongside “more than 50 partners” in the SME financing ecosystem and aiming to expand that network in the coming period.
