Report to the President on the National Export Initiative: The Export Promotion Cabinets Plan for Doubling U.S. Exports in Five Years

摘要

This document is composed of the Report, a more detailed description of the NEI in three Parts, and an Appendix on the NEI coordination process and parties. The Report sets out the overall economic context for the NEI, describes what is happening already to boost exports, and provides a top-line summary of NEI recommendations. Part I, titled The NEI in Context, sets out eleven key factors and assumptions that form the basis of a sound and comprehensive plan to double exports, ranging from assessments of the U.S. and global economies and identification of priority markets, to determining the most promising and appropriate roles for the Federal Government in increasing exports. Part II, titled Recommendations, examines each of the eight NEI Priorities, describes the rationale underlying each Priority, and presents short- and long-term recommendations for the Federal Government to implement, consistent with the Executive Order that mandated the Report. Finally, Part III presents conclusions, discusses the National Export Strategy that will be published later this year, and highlights suggestions for further advancing the NEI goals.
