Jubilee Australia's report, Risky Business, shines a spotlight on the financing by Australia's export credit agency, EFIC, of extractive projects in developing countries. It aims to make EFIC more accountable to Australians, and to improve the outcomes of extractive projects for people, countries and environments. It case studies two current examples of EFIC support for extractive projects in the Pacific - the Gold Ridge mine in Solomon Islands and the LNG project in PNG.
