# Summary The Make More in America Act of 2026 expands the Export-Import Bank's role to support domestic manufacturing and technology development in critical industries alongside traditional export financing. The bank will establish a new program providing loans, guarantees, and other financial assistance to U.S. manufacturers in priority sectors like semiconductors, advanced energy, shipbuilding, robotics, and aerospace, with a goal that at least 30 percent of the bank's annual financing supports domestic manufacturing projects. Projects must commit to workforce development, prevailing wages, and job creation, with preferential terms available for projects in economically distressed regions or those paying above-median wages. The legislation increases the bank's overall lending authority to $205 billion annually through fiscal year 2033 and creates an Investment Committee composed of bank officials, representatives from multiple federal agencies, and members of Congress to develop a 10-year investment roadmap for critical technology areas. It establishes separate default rate monitoring for the new domestic program and includes clawback provisions requiring companies to repay support if projects fail to meet timelines or comply with labor standards. The bill prohibits support for entities connected to government officials and expands the bank's authority to hire specialized personnel and use flexible financing tools.
