The Export-Import Bank of the U.S. Offers Trade-Finance Seminars in Vietnam
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) offered a series of trade-finance seminars in cities throughout Vietnam, one of the Bank’s nine key markets, from October 10 to 16 as part of a “roadshow” designed to boost U.S. exports to the region.
“We are excited about the growth opportunities in Vietnam and want to see companies tap into Ex-Im Bank for their financing,” said Ex-Im Bank Chairman and President Fred P. Hochberg. “Our exports will help grow jobs both in the United States and Vietnam.”
The half-day seminars, organized in conjunction with the American Chambers of Commerce of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, introduced the Vietnamese participants to Ex-Im Bank’s menu of products by way of outreach, training, and market sounding.
Ex-Im Bank representatives publicized the availability of the Bank’s export financing, explained how Vietnamese companies can access the Bank’s programs, and listened to Vietnamese buyers to learn how the Bank can accommodate their needs.
Ex-Im Bank recently approved a US$118 million direct loan to the government of Vietnam for the export of a Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company telecommunications satellite. (U.S. Embassy)
