WASHINGTON - The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has extended through April 30, 2021, relief measures for U.S. exporters and financial institutions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency announced today. The relief measures - which include waivers, deadline extensions, streamlined processing, and flexibility - were originally announced on March 12, 2020 and were extended.

"America's incredible exporters and workers should know that EXIM is fully committed to their success, as they overcome the challenges brought on by COVID-19," said EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed. "Earlier this year, EXIM responded quickly and with urgency to offer relief and flexibility in response to COVID-19. It is encouraging to see that effort bear fruit as more American companies utilize EXIM's expanded tools to support the export of 'Made in the USA' goods and services. At the same time, as challenges related to COVID-19 remain, EXIM is extending these relief measures."
