Sweden-China Trade Council is happy to invite Johan Fredriksson, Senior Country Analyst/Economist at the Department of Risk Management of The Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN). In this lunch meeting Johan will give us EKN’s latest country analyses of China as a business partner for exporting Swedish companies. China has for many years been assessed as a low credit risk. Has this changed with and after the pandemic and what are EKN’s views on Swedish exports to China, Sweden’s largest trading partner in Asia? How can EKN be a partner for your exports?
