The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) is the official export credit agency of the U.S. federal government. Established in 1934, it operates as an independent executive branch agency to support American jobs by financing and facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services.
EXIM provides loans, loan guarantees, export credit insurance, and working capital support, stepping in where private sector financing is unavailable or insufficient. This helps U.S. exporters, particularly small businesses, compete globally against foreign government-backed competition from over 90 other export credit agencies.
In the chemical industry, EXIM has financed projects such as petrochemical complexes in Egypt and Malaysia, fuel cell technologies, and rare earth processing for advanced materials. It has also supported mining initiatives like Mesabi Metallics' iron ore project to bolster U.S. supply chains.
Also known as U.S. Export-Import Bank, EXIM, and Ex-Im Bank.
