New: Daily fixing of Interest Rates from 1 January 2020

Daily instead of monthly pricing mechanism

The Export Financing Scheme (EFS) enables OeKB to refinance a wide range of crossboarder transactions. Austrian companies receive financing via their banks for current exports, loans for individual export transactions or to finance their foreign investments.

Currently, interest rates are set once a month and published on the OeKB website. From 1 January 2020, the interest rates will be determined on the basis of daily updated market data. This ensures that the EFS interest rates are close to the market, fair and transparent.

Benefits for OeKB clients

  The daily pricing of interest rates enables OeKB to offer the best possible rate at any time. In addition to the EUR rates also the currently available USD rates will be posted.
• Fixing the interest rate for refinancing agreements at any time
  Banks and their customers will be able to decide individually and independently when the timing to fix the interest rate for their contract is right.
• Examples of financing to display term structure of OeKB Interest Rates
