Ex-Im Bank in Russia Ex-Im Bank's MissionThe Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) - the official export credit agency of the United States - supports the purchases of U.S. goods and services by creditworthy international buyers who cannot obtain credit through traditional trade and structured finance sources. Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders, but rather provides products that fill in the gaps in areas of trade and structured financing. The Bank assumes country and credit risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept, and helps to level the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the financing that other governments provide to their exporters. In more than 70 years of operation, Ex-Im Bank has supported more than $400 billion of U.S. exports to international markets. Ex-Im Bank in Russia: HistoryEx-Im Bank has been actively pursuing financing opportunities in the Russian Federation since opening for business in Russia over a decade ago. The Bank believes that Russia is a strategic market for U.S. companies, particularly for small and medium sized companies. The Bank has been working to expand the scope of its financing activities to take advantage of Russia's current economic expansion and growth. Although there was a decrease in activity in the wake of the financial crisis of 1998, in the last several years authorizations for Russia have steadily increased and have averaged approximately $150.0 million per year. Today, Ex-Im Bank has an outstanding portfolio of approximately $1.4 billion in such sectors as aircraft, health care and mining, and a pipeline of pending projects equivalent to $750.0 million.
