Annual Competitiveness Report Survey of Exporters and Lenders

The purpose of the survey is to fulfill the statutory mandate (Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 635) which directs EXIM to report annually to the U.S. Congress any action taken toward providing export credit programs that are competitive with those offered by official foreign export credit agencies. The Act further stipulates that the annual report on competitiveness should include the results of a survey of U.S. exporters and U.S. commercial lending institutions which provide export credit to determine their experience in meeting financial competition from other countries whose exporters compete with U.S. exporters.EXIM plans to survey exporters and lenders that have engaged with EXIM on medium- and long-term support over the previous calendar year or responded to at least one of EXIM’s last two surveys. The potential respondents will be sent an electronic invitation to participate in the online survey.The proposed survey will ask participants about their potential or completed deals involving EXIM, their opinion of EXIM’s policies and procedures, their interaction and perceptions of other export credit agencies, and impacts of overall market conditions on their businesses.
