Export-Import Bank of the United States | 2011 Annual Report

Key Markets


Nine Key Country Markets: Map

Global trade is estimated to increase by nearly 75 percent in the next 15 years and is expected to reach $48.5 trillion by 2025. Countries that will be driving this unprecedented growth include the emerging markets of India, Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia. (Source: HSBC Trade Forecast, October 2011)

Ex-Im Bank is open for business in 175 countries.  However, the Bank has identified nine key markets as the primary focus of its outreach: Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Turkey and Vietnam.

These countries were selected using a number of factors, including the size of the export markets for U.S. companies, projected economic growth, anticipated infrastructure demand and need for Ex-Im financing in each market.

The projected investment in infrastructure across these countries over the next five years is more than $2 trillion. This increased demand for products and services will help small and large U.S. exporters in many sectors to maintain current employment levels and create a significant number of new jobs.

The Bank is implementing outreach plans for each market that include targeted private-sector and public-sector buyers, financial institutions and government agencies.

Founded in Indonesia in 2000 by two brothers, Kusnan and Rusdi Kirana, Lion Air has become Indonesia’s first low-cost carrier and is the country’s number-one domestic airline by market share today.

Ex-Im Bank is providing financing to support U.S.-manufactured commercial aircraft exports from The Boeing Company to Lion Air to modernize its fleet. To date, The Bank has approved more than $2 billion in final and preliminary commitments to support Lion Air’s purchase of 60 Boeing 737-900ER (extended range) aircraft.

In November 2011, Lion Air more than doubled its existing order for 178 U.S.-manufactured Boeing 737 aircraft, by ordering an additional 230 Boeing aircraft valued at more than $21 billion – the largest commercial aircraft order in aviation history.

Ex-Im’s financing will support over 100,000 aerospace-industry jobs in the United States over a number of years. 

"This is an example of how we are going to achieve the long-term goal that I set of doubling U.S. exports over the next several years. … And the U.S. administration and the Ex-Im Bank, in particular, were critical in facilitating this deal," said President Barack Obama at a Lion Air signing ceremony in Indonesia in November 2011.
