Export-Import Bank Support for U.S. Exports to Mexico

“We look forward to Mexico's use of Ex-Im Bank financing to buy high-quality U.S. goods, services and technology to support Mexico's infrastructure development programs. This latest step in the long-standing close relationship between our two countries will support growth both in Mexico's economy and in U.S. jobs.” – Fred Hochberg, Chairman, Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

Mexico has the second largest economy in Latin America and is the United States’ largest regional economic partner.  The United States Export Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) supports more exports to Mexico than to any other country, a result of the strong economic links between the two countries.  This already strong relationship has been strengthened even further with a memorandum of agreement between Ex-Im Bank and the National Development Bank for Public Works and Services (Banobras) of Mexico.  As part of the agreement, Ex-Im Bank will provide up to $1 billion to finance exports for Mexico's National Infrastructure Program (NIP).
