UKEF supports exports in all sectors, including renewables. Its aim is only to provide support where there is a lack of private finance and its provision of support is demand-led and often counter-cyclical. The UK’s oil and gas sector is a significant contributor to the economy, but has seen low investment in recent years due to volatility in oil prices and the lack of financing needed to develop projects. UKEF has provided support for projects in developing markets, helping to improve energy affordability and accessibility.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 22/02/2019 10:32:38 question first ministerially corrected 25/03/2019 10:44:20 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart previous answer version 103827 answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
