SUMMARY:EXIM Bank: Keeping America Competitive in an Intense Global Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join ACIR as Reta Jo Lewis\, EXIM’s President and Chair\, explores the topic “EXIM Bank: Keeping America Competitive in an Intense Global Environment “. \nEXIM Bank is an independent federal agency that is ostensibly recognized as America’s official export credit agency\, but it is more than that. Aside from contributing to U.S. economic growth\, it is also an important force that is strengthening the capacity of American companies to effectively compete with an aggressive Chinese state supported machine that seeks to undermine American economic dominance around the globe.  In essence\, EXIM Bank\, through strategic loans\, is essentially engaged in an asymmetrical economic war with China in the “Gray Zone”. It is an economic warrior and is needed more than ever in the face of a determined adversary. \nAbout Reta Jo Lewis\, Esq. \nOn February 9\, 2022\, the U.S. Senate confirmed Reta Jo Lewis as EXIM’s President and Chair of the Board of Directors. Chair Lewis was sworn in by Vice President of the United States\, Kamala Harris\, on February 16\, 2022. Ms. Lewis is a senior executive with over 25 years of leadership experience in international affairs\, legal\, public policy\, business and regulatory affairs\, and subnational diplomacy. \nMs. Lewis was most recently a Senior Fellow and Director of Congressional Affairs at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. At GMF\, she led and oversaw initiatives\, programs\, and bipartisan exchanges for members of the U.S. Congress and their European counterparts\, focusing on leadership development and subnational diplomacy efforts. Prior to her time at GMF\, she served as the first-ever Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs under Secretary Hillary Clinton at the U.S. Department of State during the Obama-Biden Administration. As Special Representative\, Lewis was the chief diplomat in charge of the international efforts to build and support strategic relationships between the federal government\, state and local leaders\, and their foreign counterparts.
