Uma semana sem agregar nada a essa pequena lojinha.  Eu havia comentado a iniciativa americana para dobrar as exportações em cinco anos.  Continuo lendo e apreciando o trabalho.  Vou reproduzir alguns trechos aqui:

NATIONAL EXPORT INITIATIVE REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT


Exporting is good for American business, good for American workers and good for American jobs. That is why President Obama set the goal of doubling U.S. exports in five years in his State of the Union address in January 2010. And that is why the Obama Administration is committed to working with U.S. companies to help American-made goods and services succeed in the global market. Put simply, when America exports, America prospers. The National Export Initiative (NEI) is a key component of the President’s plan to help the United States transition from the legacy of the most severe financial and economic crisis in generations to a sustained recovery. At a time when Americans are saving more and consuming less, exports can help to create the jobs needed to bring unemployment down and help to assure a strong and durable recovery. The NEI’s goal of doubling exports over five years is ambitious. Exports need to grow from $1.57 trillion in 2009 to $3.14 trillion by 2015. This will only happen if U.S. companies, farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises – the engines of economic growth – receive the encouragement and support they need as they seek new markets for their goods and services. We are just nine months into a five year goal. Progress has been made. Exports are rising, helping to put people back to work. The Export Promotion Cabinet and other federal agencies have met, individually and as part of working groups convened by the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC), to develop short and long term recommendations in the priority areas outlined in the NEI Executive Order.1 This Report lays out the comprehensive plan the Export Promotion Cabinet has developed to help the U.S. double its exports – and highlights the steps the U.S. government needs to take to assure that exports play a vital role in the recovery and support millions of jobs in America.
