Export Guarantee Office (EXG0) was established by the Export Guarantee Act 1964 which required EXGO to operate on a self-supporting basis without the concern to make a profit. EXGO was administered within the State Insurance Office and provided export credit insurance and related securities to promote the export trade of New Zealand. EXGO was sold to the State Insurance Office in 1990 following its sale to Norwich Union of the United Kingdom. With privatisation EXGO’s public service ethos was lost. It was subsequently superseded in part by the New Zealand Export Credit Office within the New Zealand Treasury.
