Why US Export-Import Bank Backs
Australian Billionaire Heiress Gina Rinehart; Here Are Some Of The Major Ex-Im
Bank Deals For 2013

Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar Inc.
(NYSE:CAT), General Electric Company (NYSE:GE)
and Atlas Copco AB (STO:ATCO-A), a Swedish industrial holding company, are the
latest beneficiaries of credit financing from the U.S.
Export-Import Bank.
The federal government’s export-promoting
agency said Thursday it would extend $694.4 million in loans (backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S.
taxpayer should the lending go sour) to Australia’s Roy Hill Holdings.
The mining giant controlled by Australian
heiress Gina Rinehart is trying to shore up $6.2 billion in capital before the end
of the year to fund a massive $8.9 billion iron ore project in Pilbara, a
mineral-rich region in the arid western part of the country. The announcement
came two days after the Korea Export-Import Bank committed $1 billion to one of
the world’s largest financing deals to fund a private project, reported The
Australian on Saturday, local time.
This is one of the larger Ex-Im financing
offers this year, especially excluding the megadeals in which the U.S. extends
credit or loan guarantees to foreign airlines to buy U.S.-made airplanes and
engines, primarily from The Boeing Company
(NYSE:BA) and GE, the largest U.S. aircraft engine maker.
