Shipping Jobs Overseas
The U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) supports billions of dollars in U.S. exports and nearly 300,000 American jobs, and it does so while contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to the Treasury every year. Even so, some argue Ex-Im’s authorization should be allowed to lapse on May 31.
But other countries are providing their own exporters an estimated $1 trillion in export finance — often on terms more generous than private banks can match. Ex-Im plays a vital role leveling the financial playing field for U.S. exporters. Shutting Ex-Im would mean unilateral disarmament — and shipping American jobs overseas.
