WASHINGTON - President and Chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) Kimberly A. Reed met Wednesday via teleconference with Ambassador to Slovenia Lynda C. Blanchard. The Chairman and the Ambassador discussed how EXIM can support the export of "Made in the USA" goods and services to Slovenia.

Building on their discussions that took place last week in Luxembourg during the American Chiefs of Mission September Summit 2020 for 16 U.S. Ambassadors from across Europe, and in advance of Ambassador Blanchard's meeting tomorrow with Slovenian Minister of Infrastructure Jernej Vrtovec, Chairman Reed and the Ambassador also discussed EXIM's historic seven-year Congressional reauthorization, which directs EXIM to establish a new Program on China and Transformational Exports. The program is intended to help level the playing field for U.S. exporters and workers by directly neutralizing export subsidies for competing goods and services offered by the People's Republic of China. The program also focuses on supporting U.S. innovation, employment, and technological standards globally in ten transformational export industries.  

ABOUT EXIM:

EXIM is an independent federal agency that promotes and supports American jobs by providing competitive and necessary export credit to support sales of U.S. goods and services to international buyers. A robust EXIM can level the global playing field for U.S. exporters when they compete against foreign companies that receive support from their governments. EXIM also contributes to U.S. economic growth by helping to create and sustain hundreds of thousands of jobs in exporting businesses and their supply chains across the United States. In recent years, approximately 90 percent of the total number of the agency's authorizations has directly supported small businesses. Since 1992, EXIM has generated more than $9 billion for the U.S. Treasury for repayment of U.S. debt.
