Subsidies are granted for development projects in a number of
developing countries (up to upper middle income). The supplier
must be a company registered in Denmark, and sufficient Danish
interest in the project must also be proved. Minimum 25% Danish
interest is required for projects in China.
In principle all kind of projects can be taken into consideration, but
in practice the arrangement is applied in accordance to the sectors

water supply and sanitation,
renewable energy,

health, and
education.
The minimum contract amount to be financed is € 1 million, while
the maturity is normally 10 years.
Special requirement is that the financing should not affect
negatively the country’ balance of payments, neither its public
debt sustainability. Therefore, recipient countries should be
creditworthy, i.e. categorised in premium groups 1 to 6 out of 7
possible by the Danish Export Credit Fund (EKF) (except for
Denmark’s Programme Countries).
