Ex-Im Bank Chairman Concludes China Business Development Trip
September 14, 2012

Chongqing, China – Fred P. Hochberg, the chairman and president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), led a business-development mission in China this week where he met with local officials and identified new business opportunities for American companies. Hochberg traveled to Beijing, Chengdu, Tianjin, and Chongqing.

“China is a dynamic market, and there are enormous opportunities for American businesses to sell to Chinese customers,” said Hochberg. “Over the next several years, China is expected to make significant infrastructure investments, and U.S. companies, workers, and products should be involved in those projects.” 

While in China, Hochberg met with leading business organizations, including members of AmCham Southwest China and PCH International.  Hochberg also held meetings with Vice Governor Gan Li, Mayor Ge Honglin, Mayor Huang Qifan, and Party Secretary Zhang Dejiang.

Ex-Im Bank’s volume is increasing in China. In FY'12 year-to-date, the Bank has authorized $1.2 billion in financing for Chinese companies that purchased U.S. goods and services, up from $586 million in FY’11. As of July 2012, China ranked fourth in new authorizations for Ex-Im Bank.
