1 FREEDOM PARTNERS PRESS OFFICE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 6/3/ VIEW ONLINE HERE Ex-Im As A Lender Of Last Resort? Arlington, VA The Export-Import Bank s leadership has claimed time and time again that the Ex-Im Bank makes loans only when no one else will. In doing so, supporters maintain, it doesn t compete with private lenders when using taxpayer money to subsidize foreign countries. In reality, Ex-Im loans billions of dollars to large corporations (often owned by foreign governments) that shouldn t have any problem procuring private financing. The following research identifies no less than 18 state-owned companies that have received billions of dollars from the Ex-Im Bank in recent years. Does Ex-Im contend that companies owned by China, Saudi Arabia and Russia can t get private loans? Or are these officials just trying to protect their jobs at a bank that has come to symbolize the worst of cronyism and corruption in Washington? The Export-Import Bank Characterizes Itself As A Lender Of Last Resort Ex-Im President Fred Hochberg: Ex-Im Bank Does Not Compete With Private Sector Lenders, But Rather Provides Financing For Transactions That Would Otherwise Not Take Place. We assume commercial, country, and liquidity risks that are reasonable and responsible, but currently beyond the still-recovering appetite of private lenders. Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders, but rather provides financing for transactions that would otherwise not take place because commercial lenders are either unable or unwilling to accept the political or commercial risk inherent in the deal. (Fred P. Hochberg, Chairman Hochberg's Statement To Senate Banking Committee On Ex-Im Bank s Oversight And Reauthorization, Export-Import Bank Of The United States, 1/28/14) Ex-Im Inspector General: Given Ex-Im Bank s Position As A Lender Of Last Resort, Its Authorizations Have Grown In Record Numbers To Support U.S. Exports As Private Lending Has Contracted Or Plateaued. ( Semiannual Report To Congress: October 1, 2012 To March 31, 2013, Export-Import Bank Office Of Inspector General, 3/13) U.S. Chamber Of Commerce And National Association Of Manufacturers: Without Ex-Im Bank Acting As A 'Lender Of Last Resort' To Fill Market Gaps, Many Foreign Customers May Turn To Non-U.S. Suppliers. The group, along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Assn. of Manufacturers and eight other business trade associations wrote to congressional leaders last week urging them to move quickly to provide a long-term extension of the bank's charter. Without Ex-Im Bank acting as a 'lender of last resort' to fill market gaps, many foreign customers may turn to non-u.s. suppliers that already have significant support from their own official export credit agencies, the groups wrote. (Jim Puzzanghera, Export-Import Bank Supporters Relieved, Worried By 9-Month Extension, Los Angeles Times, 9/19/14)
2 But Do State-Owned Companies Have No Other Access To Capital Besides The U.S. Export-Import Bank? When Asked About An Ex-Im Loan To The State-Owned Industrial And Commercial Bank Of China, Hochberg Answered Merely That Countries Like China Are Both A Competitor Of The U.S. And A Customer Of The U.S. ( Examining The Export-Import Bank s Mandates, Committee On Oversight & Government Reform, 4/30/15) Representative Bill Huizenga: Why did the bank approve a $75.8 million loan to a subsidiary of the state-owned Industrial Commercial Bank of China when on April 23 at your annual conference you said, quote, It isn t easy going up against China, Russia, or anyone else to win export sales and the jobs that come with them. You stated, More and more, U.S. companies just aren t competing against their counterparts in China, Japan and elsewhere. They re forced to compete against China, Inc. Why are we helping? Ex-Im President Fred Hochberg: Sir, it s a complicated world out there. Countries like China are both a competitor of the U.S. and a customer of the U.S. Japan, Germany, Korea they re competitors and they re customers. So in some place we treat them as a competitor, and in other place we re selling them goods and services. China is the third largest destination after Canada/Mexico for U.S. exports, so we re not gonna end to that market.
