About Oesterreichische Kontrollbank

Oesterreichische Kontrollbank (OKB) was established in 1946 under the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. Its main role is to administer the Austrian government’s programme of guarantees to promote Austrian exports and to provide refinancing for loans carrying export guarantees or other forms of credit enhancement.

OKB also provides private export credit insurance through affiliates, primarily for short-term revolving facilities, as well as a variety of operational and informational services for the Austrian capital markets.

Sustainable funding strategy

In 2019, OKB unveiled its sustainable financing framework and a second-party opinion from Sustainalytics. The framework reflects OKB’s longstanding commitment to sustainable development and puts OKB at the forefront of sustainable finance in Austria as its first-ever sustainability bond issuer. In March 2022, OKB updated its sustainable financing framework by adding two new categories – green buildings and circular economy – and by emphasising a stronger alignment with the EU taxonomy.

In October 2019, OKB issued its inaugural sustainability bond with a volume of €500 million. In March 2021, OKB issued its second sustainability bond with a volume of NOK1 billion.
