The Regional Export Promotion Act of 2026 expands and formalizes the Export-Import Bank's Regional Export Promotion Program, which helps American businesses access export financing and support by partnering with state, local, and nonprofit economic development organizations. The bill creates a five-year pilot program specifically focused on small businesses, requiring the Export-Import Bank to prioritize partnerships with underserved communities including HUBZones, community development financial institutions, minority banks, local chambers of commerce, and community banks. Under the pilot program, the bank will provide specialized training, export credit insurance products tailored for small businesses, and streamlined application processes to help small business exporters. The legislation requires the Export-Import Bank president to report annually to Congress on the number of new partnerships developed, the volume of bank products used by small businesses through these partnerships, and recommendations for future funding or improvements. No specific appropriations are mentioned in the bill, but the legislation directs the bank to assess whether additional funding would strengthen the program's effectiveness.
