GIEK establishment dates to the 1920s with the establishment of the Russian commission. The Russia Commission was established under the Ministry of Trade, and the guarantee scheme thus became more permanent. In 1934, the scheme was expanded to cover all countries and renamed the Government Export Credit Commission. Apart from the Soviet Union, the largest insured export volumes went to Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain and Brazil. In the 1940s there was the establishment of the Export Guarantee Fund. In the 1950s they modernized their terms and regulations. GIEK implemented major organisational and administrative changes in 1980 and was granted wider powers by the ministry. The same year, GIEK’s 31 employees moved to the current premises at Dronning Mauds gate 15, Oslo. The tender guarantee scheme was transferred to GIEK in 1982. In 1987, the exchange rate guarantee scheme was withdrawn and the GIEK Committee was disbanded. A special export guarantee scheme for investments in developing countries was introduced in 1988.
