BAFT Issues a Statement on the Senate Hearings on “Oversight and Reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.”

On June 27, 2019, the Senate Banking Committee met in an open session to conduct a hearing on the Oversight and Reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.

The Honorable Kimberly Reed, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Export-Import Bank of the United States offered testimony. BAFT has issued a Statement for the Record urging for the committee to move swiftly to pass a long-term reauthorization, prevent unnecessary disruptions to its activities by permanently resolving the quorum issue; increase EXIM’s statutory lending authority to align with market demands, and avoid unnecessary administrative roadblocks that will negatively affect the competitiveness of U.S. companies.
