New appointments to Export Finance Australia Board

Today I am pleased to announce the appointments of Ms Karina Kwan and Mr Rahoul Chowdry as Non-Executive Directors of the Board of Export Finance Australia (EFA).

EFA supports Australian exporters and overseas investment, driving economic activity and creating jobs for Australians. It also provides financing for projects that support Australia's economic resilience and security, and helps deepen our economic engagement in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.

Both Ms Kwan and Mr Chowdry have significant corporate board and professional experience, a history of long-term engagement in our region, and will continue to uphold the disciplined and rigorous approach taken by Export Finance Australia and its Board.

In addition to the new appointments, I am very pleased to announce that current EFA Board Deputy Chair, Mr David Bennett, has also been reappointed to this role for a further three years.

I thank outgoing Non-Executive Director, Ms Jodie Baker, for her outstanding contribution over the last six years, including as Chair of EFA's Board Audit and Risk Committee.
