EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE IN CAVTAT

The U.S. Export-Import Bank held a one-day conference on doing business in Southeastern Europe in Cavtat on October 29. The purpose of the conference was to provide U.S. exporters and investors with information on U.S. government finance and investment programs. Croatia was chosen as a place for the conference due to the U.S. businesses' view on Croatia as particularly well situated to attract international trade and investment. U.S. Ambassador to Croatia Rossin opened the conference, and numerous speakers from U.S. government agencies, corporations and investment funds participated in the conference. Member of the EXIM Board of Directors Vanessa Weaver was hosting the conference on behalf of the EXIM and met with the Croatian Minister of Finance Mato Crkvenac.
