Trade finance

On 11 July 2016, the UK Export Finance agency presented its 2015/16 Annual Report. The report included a list of all beneficiaries of trade finance for the given fiscal year.
One of these beneficiares was China's Air China Ltd, which was offered buyer credit worth 10.7 million GBP for a contract with Airbus SAS.
Given that UKEF does not provide the exact date that the trade finance deal was signed, the most conservative inception date, i.e. the 30 June 2016, was set as the inception date.
France and Germany were not selected as affected trading partners since part of Airbus' production facilities is located in those countries.
