Finance Classified by Officially

We estimate that £11.2 billion of new loans, insurance, and guarantees provided by UKEF in the 2025-26 financial year is expected to:

Support the contribution of up to £6.4 billion to UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Support up to 85,000 UK Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) jobs.

Of these jobs, up to 53,000 are estimated to be directly employed in the UK businesses or projects UKEF supports (direct) and up to 32,000 further jobs are estimated to be in their supply chains (indirect).

For the first time, UKEF has estimated the economic benefit of its activities for developing countries. We estimate that UKEF’s support for £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion) of loans to developing countries are expected to:

Support up to 64,000 jobs, of which 38,000 are estimated to be directly employed in the overseas businesses or projects UKEF supports (direct) and up to 25,000 further jobs are estimated to be in their supply chains (indirect).

Note: Figures may not sum due to rounding (nearest 1,000 for jobs).

1. Jobs and contribution to GDP supported modelling methodology

The methodology for both domestic and overseas estimates apply input-output (IO) analytical frameworks to translate UKEF-supported activity into estimates of contribution to GDP and jobs supported. Contribution to GDP refers to the estimate of Gross Value Added (GVA) supported which is the primary component of GDP – the commonly used measure of a nation’s economic output/income. GVA is equivalent to output minus intermediate consumption [footnote 1].
