Tyngre å få finansiering? Ex-Im Bank mot avvikling?

[LN-MOW]

Det kan bli vanskeligere å få finansiert nye Boeinger i tiden fremover..

Saving the Ex-Im Bank — which provides loan guarantees to U.S. firms selling their products overseas — is a longtime bipartisan cause of Washington’s congressional delegation. One out of every four jobs in the state is dependent on foreign trade.

In particular, the Ex-Im Bank has been an invaluable took for the Boeing Co. in selling its jets abroad and competing against Europe’s heavily subsidized Airbus.

Er det slik at Ex-Im garanterer for lån ingen andre vil ha? Er det mye tap på disse lånene?

Det fleste land som har noe eksportindustri av størrelse har vel slike ordninger. Enn så mye de driver og krangler om det politiske der bote vil det vel være å skyte seg seg selv i foten å forsøke å legge ned denne ordningen?

Jeg mente å ha lest ett eller annet sted her inne at det var mindre mislighold / tap på disse garantiene enn for mange andre typer lån? Og skal Boeing konkurrere mot Airbus så er det vel ingen vei utenom.

What goes round .... Boeing og GE kutter pengestøtte til politikere som vil ha ordningen avviklet ..

Two symbols of corporate power in America, the Boeing Co. and General Electric, have cut off contributions to Republican politicians who have blocked renewal of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which assures financing for export of U.S. products for both large and small businesses.

The action comes after conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives, most prominently House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., have prevented Congress’ lower chamber from even taking a vote on Ex-Im. The bank’s charter expired in June. The U.S. Senate has voted with a bipartisan majority to renew the bank.
