The 2008 National Export Strategy Report highlights multiple trends contributing to strong U.S. exports, including strong foreign demand, e-commerce, and continued U.S. competitiveness.
The Report then lays out priorities across the agencies, including:
- Broadening and Deepening the Base of Exporters by partnering with U.S. States and cities, large private sector export service providers, and trade associations with unique access to potential exporters.
- Free Trade Agreements and TPCC agency efforts to introduce more U.S. companies to our FTA partners and create market entry opportunities in these markets.
- Priority Markets (China, India, Brazil, and Russia) that represent huge commercial potential, but also significant difficulties for U.S. companies seeking market entry. Areas of special focus include infrastructure development initiatives, bilateral dialogues, target sectors, and high-level trade events.
- Next Generation Markets, focusing on the Middle East and Africa, two regions that continue to experience rapid economic growth in both commodity and non-commodity producing countries aided by reforms and expanded credit. Infrastructure is again a priority, along with high-level conferences, trade missions, and capacity building initiatives that advance our commercial relationships.
