Summary:

While the United States exported nearly $400 billion in goods and services in 1990, these exports represented only about seven percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. By comparison, exports are an important share of the economies of major European countries--27 percent of the gross domestic product in the case of Germany. To help their exporters enter world markets, these countries have adopted some unique approaches. This report examines the nonagricultural export promotion activities of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. GAO discusses the (1) structure of their export promotion programs, (2) spending for such programs, and (3) financial assistance these competitors give their exporters.
