Report to the U.S. Congress on Export Credit Competition and the Export-Import Bank of the United States for the Period January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007

摘要

The 2007 Competitiveness Report provides an assessment of the competitiveness of the medium- and long-term export credit programs of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) during calendar year 2007. This assessment compares Ex-Im Bank programs to those of the G-7 official export credit agencies (ECAs), the traditional competitors to Ex-Im Bank. The report also incorporates competitive information on other large ECAs, when such information is available and relevant. This assessment is based on information gathered from a number of sources, including surveys and focus groups with exporters and lenders; data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO); and information from various ECAs and their host governments.
