Washington, D.C. - President and Chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) Kimberly A. Reed met today with U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic Robin S. Bernstein to discuss how EXIM can help American businesses export their "Made in the U.S.A." goods and services to the Dominican Republic.
During the meeting, Chairman Reed and Ambassador Bernstein discussed how EXIM can advance projects in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean and support the Trump Administration's America Crece initiative. America Crece is an innovative, whole of-government approach to support economic development by catalyzing private sector investment in energy and other infrastructure projects across Latin America and the Caribbean. In recent years, EXIM has assisted with the export of approximately $66 million in goods and services to the Dominican Republic.
Chairman Reed and Ambassador Bernstein also discussed EXIM's historic seven-year reauthorization, which allows EXIM to continue supporting American exporters, and discussed EXIM's ongoing support of minority- and women-owned (MWOB) businesses.
