ExIm Board Establishes Path for 10 Transformational Export Sectors to Access EXIM Financing |
Press Release Excerpt: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) Board has established a narrowly-tailored content policy specific to the agency’s new Program on China and Transformational Exports creating a path for U.S. exporters in 10 transformational export sectors, including water and sanitation, to utilize EXIM support.
Under the targeted content policy, projects or procurements involving the Congressionally-mandated 10 transformational export sectors will qualify for EXIM financing if the proposed transaction meets a 51 percent U.S. content threshold, at which point EXIM may support up to 85 percent of the value of all eligible goods and services in the U.S. export contract.
In addition, EXIM may approve financing for an export in one of the 10 transformational export sectors, even if the transaction does not meet the 51 percent threshold, if certain requirements are met.
