In continuing the contribution of summing up on the Export Finance and Insurance Corporation Amendment (Equity Investments and Other Measures) Bill 2021, I can say that the bill boosts Export Finance Australia's important role in supporting Australia's economic growth and facilitating stronger links between Australian businesses and the Indo-Pacific region while maintaining its robust processes for assessing commerciality, risk, and environmental and social impacts. I commend the bill to the Senate.
