EXIM provides fixed-rate financing—up to 12 years typically and up to 18 years for renewable energy projects—to creditworthy international buyers in the private and public sectors, and provides local cost financing up to 30 percent.

THE LEASE
Overview
Competitive Financing for International Buyers
EXIM supports competitive medium-term financing structured in the form of finance leases in addition to financing structured in the form of installment loans. Leasing support is important because some foreign buyers of U.S. capital goods prefer leasing as an alternative to traditional installment loans. EXIM will guarantee lease financing of U.S. goods and services to creditworthy international lessees, both in the private and public sectors.

THE GSM-102 PROGRAM
Overview
The GSM-102 program provides credit guarantees to encourage financing of commercial exports of U.S. agricultural products. By reducing financial risk for lenders, credit guarantees encourage exports to buyers in countries—primarily developing countries—that have sufficient financial strength to provide foreign currency for scheduled payments.
THE FACILITY GUARANTEE PROGRAM (FGP)
Overview
The Facility Guarantee Program (FGP) provides credit guarantees for infrastructure improvements in countries where demand for U.S. agricultural products may be limited by a lack of adequate facilities. The program is designed to stimulate sales of U.S. agricultural products in countries where demand may be limited due to inadequate storage, processing, handling, or distribution capabilities. The program provides credit guarantees to facilitate financing of U.S. manufactured goods and services to improve or establish agriculture-related facilities in emerging markets.
