Ex-Im Bank, operating at no cost to taxpayers, fills a
much-needed gap in export credit financing in the
United States—one that private banks cannot fill. We
hope this legislation will spur quick Senate action on
the Ex-Im Bank in the coming weeks, and we applaud
the authors of the two bills for their leadership on this
important issue.” – NAM Director of Trade Facilitation
Policy Lauren Airey
“The U.S. Chamber applauds the introduction of these
two bills in the Senate that would secure a long-term
reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank. Ex-Im is one of the
most vital tools available to U.S. companies to help
them increase exports and create jobs. For the small
and medium-sized businesses that rely on Ex-Im to
secure commercial financing, legislation to renew the
bank’s charter can’t be passed soon enough. We urge
Congress to swiftly pass legislation to renew the Ex-
Im’s charter and allow American companies to com-
pete and win in international markets.” – U.S. Cham-
ber of Commerce Executive Director of International
Policy Christopher Wenk
