What it does
EDC’s mandate is to support and develop, directly or indirectly, Canada’s export trade and Canadian capacity to engage in that trade and to respond to international business opportunities. Under Canada Account, all transactions must meet EDC’s mandate, but additionally, the Government of Canada is able to support transactions that exceed the financial or risk capacity of EDC under its Corporate Account, but are deemed to be of national interest.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Export Development Canada (Canada Account) | This program | 2018-19 – 2024-25 | $14.2B |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
