U.S. Exports Reach $2.3 Trillion in 2013
 For Fourth Consecutive Year, U.S. Sets Export Record

Washington, D.C. – The United States has set another annual record for the fourth consecutive year by exporting $2.3 trillion in goods and services in 2013, according to data released today by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Commerce Department.

The data also reveals that U.S. exports supported nearly 10 million American jobs in 2013.

In December, the U.S. exported $191.3 billion of goods and services.

“As the numbers prove, American entrepreneurs will continue to outperform their competitors in the global marketplace, as long as they are given a level playing field,” said Export-Import Bank Chairman and President Fred P. Hochberg. “Under the strategic direction established by President Obama’s National Export Initiative, we continue to export more goods at a record pace. By exporting $2.3 trillion in U.S. goods and services and supporting 10 million American jobs, America’s exporters continue to make critical contributions to our economy.”

Exports of goods and services over the last twelve months totaled $2.3 trillion, which is 44.0 percent above the level of exports in 2009. During the same timeframe, exports have been growing at an annualized rate of 9.5 percent when compared to 2009. Among the major export markets (i.e., markets with at least $6 billion in annual imports of U.S. goods), the countries with the largest annualized increase in U.S. goods purchases, when compared to 2009, occurred in Panama (25.9 percent), Russia (20.3 percent), Peru (19.6 percent), Hong Kong (19.2 percent), United Arab Emirates (19.1 percent), Colombia (18.5 percent), Chile (17.1 percent), Ecuador (16.8 percent), Argentina (16.3 percent), and Indonesia (15.5 percent).

U.S. Exports Reach a Record $192.7 Billion in October

Washington, D.C. – The United States exported a record $192.7 billion in goods and services in October 2013, according to data released today by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Commerce Department.

“With exports rising and the trade deficit falling, it is clear that President Obama’s National Export Initiative is getting results,” said Export-Import Bank Chairman and President Fred P. Hochberg. “Today’s numbers are a welcome reminder of the importance of exports to the U.S. economy. Ex-Im plays a critical role in insuring that financing will not stand in the way of American businesses closing a sale overseas and creating jobs. And as another record month for American exporters and American jobs shows—the ‘Made in America’ brand remains a top seller.”

October’s figure is slightly larger than the previous high recorded in June, which was revised upward this month to $190.9 billion.

Exports of goods and services over the last twelve months totaled $2.3 trillion, which is 43.1 percent above the level of exports in 2009. Over the last twelve months, exports have been growing at an annualized rate of 9.8 percent when compared to 2009.

Over the last twelve months, among the major export markets (i.e., markets with at least $6 billion in annual imports of U.S. goods), the countries with the largest annualized increase in U.S. goods purchases, when compared to 2009, were Panama (27.6 percent), Russia (22.3 percent), United Arab Emirates (20.9 percent), Hong Kong (20.7 percent), Peru (20.2 percent), Chile (19.3 percent), Colombia (18.7 percent), Argentina (17.2 percent), Ecuador (16.9 percent), and Saudi Arabia (16.0 percent).
