Sub-Saharan Africa Advisory Committee
Established by act of Congress, the sub-Saharan Africa Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides expert guidance in developing policies to strengthen Bank support of U.S. exports to Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa is a priority region for the Ex-Im Bank. Based on its Congressional mandate, Ex-Im Bank is pursuing new initiatives to expand financing support of U.S. manufactured goods and services to the region.
Nominations are closed and are now being processed for the 2012 Sub-Saharan Africa Advisory Committee.
Ex-Im Bank is an independent federal agency that helps create and maintain U.S. jobs by filling gaps in private export financing at no cost to American taxpayers. In the past six years, Ex-Im Bank has earned for U.S. taxpayers $3.7 billion above the cost of operations. The Bank provides a variety of financing mechanisms, including working capital guarantees, export-credit insurance and financing to help foreign buyers purchase U.S. goods and services.
Ex-Im Bank approved $32.7 billion in total authorizations in FY 2011 -- an all-time Ex-Im Bank record. This total includes more than $1.3 billion in export-credit insurance, guarantees and direct loans for sub-Saharan Africa. For more information, visit www.exim.gov.
