Australia’s Export Credit Agency (Export Finance Australia) is mandated to provide financing to support sustainable infrastructure projects in the Indo-Pacific region across a range of sectors, including energy, electrification, and transportation. The agency is also tasked with supporting critical minerals projects and related infrastructure.

In 2024, the agency announced USD 533 million in debt financing to Arafura for a first-of-a-kind rare earths processing facility in Australia, and this helped unlock direct lending and untied loan guarantees from export credit agencies in Canada, Germany and Korea.
