The U.S. Export-Import Bank has financed 60 percent of all U.S. commercial satellite exports over the past two years and will maintain that effort as U.S. manufacturers turn to the commercial markets in a declining defense spending environment, Ex-Im Bank President Fred P. Hochberg told satellite industry officials March 18. In a speech demonstrating just how aggressive Ex-Im has become as it vies with its French counterpart, Coface, to promote its domestic industry, Hochberg said financing will no longer be an issue for U.S. satellite exporters. "We don't want you to lose a sale due to a lack of financing," Hochberg said. "You may lose it on price, or schedule, or for some other reason - but not on financing. "Particularly in light of federal budget cuts, we stand ready to support your expansion into commercial sales to counter declines in government and military sales."

Hochberg）在过去两年中，美国进出口银行（Export-Import Bank）已为美国所有商业卫星出口提供了60％的资金，随着美国制造商在国防开支下降的情况下转向商业市场，美国将继续努力。霍奇伯格在3月18日告诉卫星行业官员的讲话中，展示了Ex-Im在与法国同行Coface进行竞争以促进其国内产业方面已经变得多么激进，霍克伯格表示，融资将不再是美国卫星出口商的问题。霍奇伯格说：“我们不希望您由于缺乏融资而损失一笔交易。” “您可能会因为价格，进度或其他原因而失去它-但不会因融资而失去。”特别是鉴于联邦预算削减，我们随时准备支持您向商业销售的扩张，以应对政府和军事销售的下降。 ”
