EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAt a time when traditional drivers of U.S. economic growth, such as consumer and businessspending, are underperforming, exports are demonstrating that they can serve an increasingrole among the pillars of the U.S. sustainable growth model. Through December 2011, exportsof goods and services over the preceding twelve months totaled over $2.1 trillion, 33.5% abovethe level of exports in 2009. With four-fifths of the international economy and 85 percent of worldeconomic growth in the next five years forecasted to be outside of the United States, exportsare the fuel needed to power the American economy.Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States also contributes significantly to U.S.economic growth and prosperity, supporting U.S. jobs and helping to bolster U.S. exportcompetitiveness. For example, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned firms accounted for 19percent of all U.S. goods exported in 2007.A renewed focus on ensuring U.S. companies’ success in overseas markets and increasing FDIin the United States will not only help strengthen the long-term health of U.S. industries, but alsodirectly stimulate domestic job creation. ITA’s mission is to create prosperity by strengtheningthe competitiveness of U.S. industry, promoting trade and investment, and ensuring fair tradeand compliance with trade laws and agreements.When President Obama announced the goal of doubling U.S. exports by the end of 2014 tosupport millions of U.S. jobs, he signaled a massive push within the Department of Commerce(DOC) and specifically the International Trade Administration (ITA) to effectively and efficientlyimplement the National Export Initiative (NEI) using its trade promotion and expansion tools. ITAis playing a leading role in implementing the NEI programmatically and by increasingcoordination with other trade agencies through the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee(TPCC). With 95 percent of the world’s consumers living outside U.S. borders, tapping intocustomers and investors in fast-growing markets abroad, further opening up foreign markets toU.S. goods and services, and leveling the playing field for U.S. industries, both at home andabroad, are crucial to putting the United States’ economy on solid footing.Nearly every ITA program is focused on the NEI. In the proposed FY 2013 budget, ITA isrequesting $517.0 million and 1,807 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions in the Operations andAdministration account to continue the NEI program and the other mandates within our mission.This budget request embraces the President’s NEI through a comprehensive export promotionstrategy that will:• Grow more competitive U.S. firms;• Reduce potential foreign barriers to U.S. exports;• Increase the number of export-ready firms;• Increase the number of new-to-market firms;• Expand U.S. exports in key emerging markets and sectors; and• Enhance protection for U.S. firms from unfair trade practices at home and abroad.ITA - 5
