The Export-Import Bank of the United States announced on August 27, 2008 that it had approved a US$80 million medium-term credit guarantee facility to provide financing for up to 85% of purchases of equipment and services by Mexico’s national electricity provider, the Federal Electricity Commission (Comision Federal de Electricidad  - CFE), from to be selected U.S. suppliers. 

The guarantee provides a great opportunity to U.S. exporters of electric plant equipment and services, which may wish to take a sales trip to Mexico to visit CFE officials and market their wares and services as soon as possible.

More information about the Ex-Im guaranty to the CFE and how it benefits U.S. exporters is available here.
