Maximum liability
UKEF exposure measure including interest
Short definition
In UKEF’s glossary, the maximum amount of claims payable under a particular product, including interest. UKEF uses it to measure exposure before cover is issued. It differs from loan principal, the amount drawn and a realised loss. Linking a published entry to a particular facility requires checking the contract and transaction references.

A published ceiling can include interest. The contract is needed to connect that scope to a particular facility.
