To help promote economic development in and the export of U.S. goods and services to developing and middle-income countries, Congress created the U.S. Trade and Development Agency in 1980. This report reviews (1) how the agency's activities can boost U.S. exports; (2) what factors have affected the agency's efforts to generate U.S. exports; and (3) how five other countries--France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom--approach major development projects abroad that may increase their exports. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-94-9/html/GAOREPORTS-GGD-94-9.htm GAO/GGD-94-9 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GGD-94-9 Chapter Report GAO/GGD-94-9; U.S. Trade and Development Agency: Limitations Exist in Its Ability to Help Generate U.S. Exports; International economic relations Foreign trade policies Developing countries Foreign economic assistance Sales promotion Commodity marketing Exporting International trade Interagency relations Economic development France Germany Italy Japan United Kingdom Trade and Development Program China Thailand India Togo Trinidad and Tobago Ivory Coast Venezuela Philippines Indonesia Eximbank Engineering Multiplier Program AID Private Enterprise Initiative Pakistan Egypt
