The Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) grew U.S. exports and increased American jobs. As the official export credit agency of the United States, Ex-Im Bank assists in financing U.S. exports from thousands of American companies and bolsters our global competitiveness. In fact, nearly 90 percent of Export-Import BankÂ’s transactions directly support U.S. small business. Last year alone, they supported more than $40 billion in export sales from American companies. These sales, from 3,600 companies, supported almost 300,000 jobs.
Ex-Im Bank operates at no cost to the taxpayer, and it has a track record of generating a profit for the government. Last year alone, the Bank sent $1 billion to the U.S. Treasury. Over the last five years, the Ex-Im Bank has returned $3.4 billion to the United States Treasury.
