- I congratulate the consortium.

I hope other British

WHAT ECGD COVER WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR BRITISH FIRMS?

- Cover for medium and long term credit business is

available within ECGD's normal market and budgetary

constraints.

-

Support for large individual cases requires special

Hong Kong's reserves in a very healthy state.
