Known conflict
THE TWO PUBLISHERS DO NOT CONFLICT AND MUST NOT BE PRESENTED AS IF THEY DID. The OECD sets the rules under which Participants may support; the agencies set their own country cover. A country can be inside the rules and off every agency's book at once, and Syria is || WIDENED 7 SEPTEMBER 2026 UNDER D-202 AND AQ-73, AND THE 'TWO' IS NOW A SUBSET RATHER THAN THE SCOPE. Eight further institutions were opened at their own documents and THEY DO NOT ALL SAY NO COVER. Sweden's EKN: seven of eight cells normally off cover, the eighth, bank risk at short tenor, RESTRICTIVE RISK ASSESSMENT. Export Development Canada: 'Limited information available', where the same page uses 'Closed' of Afghanistan. Turk Eximbank: SYRIA (7) inside a live risk-premium calculator, which prices rather than excludes. Atradius Dutch State Business: a COUNTRY CEILING of 360, the page stating 'Amounts are listed in millions of euros', against condition 'IMF/WB restrictions'. Germany: 'Es bestehen keine Deckungsmoeglichkeiten', which does agree with the two. NEXI: category H. OECD: entry 175, 7 of 7, valid as of 26 June 2026. And the Islamic Development Bank, whose board restored Syria's membership on 16 March 2025, records US$277.5m of ICIEC investment and export credit insurance as at December 2024. THE CLAIM AS WRITTEN REMAINS TRUE OF UKEF AND US EXIM and may not be generalised to the market. NINE AGENCIES REMAIN UNOPENED: Bpifrance, SACE, K-sure, EKF, Finnvera, OeKB, SERV, Sinosure, Dhaman.
