Senate Vote Restores Full Ex-Im Financing Capacity
Boeing applauds the re-establishment of the U.S. export credit agency’s board quorum.

Boeing welcomed a measure of positive news Wednesday after weeks of negative publicity over the second crash of a 737 Max when the U.S. Senate confirmed three nominees of President Donald Trump as members of the board of directors of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im). The bipartisan vote restores the export credit agency to its full capacity and what Boeing executive vice president of government operations Tim Keating called “an important tool” in the company’s set of available financing instruments.
