The Export-Import Bank would stop counting certain failed loans when calculating its default rate, making it easier to keep lending. This applies to loans that help U.S. exporters compete against companies linked to China and other restricted foreign entities. The change could mean more government-backed export financing in strategic sectors.

Who this affects: This bill most directly affects U.S. exporters who rely on Ex-Im Bank financing to sell their products abroad, especially in sectors where they compete with Chinese firms or other restricted entities. It also affects taxpayers, who back the Bank's deals, and the Bank itself, which gets more flexibility in how it lends.
Why this matters: The Export-Import Bank is a key tool for helping U.S. companies compete globally. When its default rate rises, lending limits kick in and the Bank must pull back. By excluding certain strategic defaults from the count, this bill could let the Bank support more deals aimed at countering China and other restricted entities -- but it also means the reported default rate may not reflect the Bank's true financial risk.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
