Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Export-Import Bank of the United States shall conduct a comparative assessment of the practices of export credit agencies of other countries that are major providers of official export credit and member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development with respect to risk- or fee-sharing arrangements, to determine the extent to which the Bank could take steps to increase the share of loan-level risk borne by the private sector.
On the conclusion of the assessment required under subsection (a), the Bank shall, if warranted, establish programs under which private financial institutions may share risk in the loans, guarantees, and other products of the Bank in exchange for receiving fees received from the participants in the programs. The fees to a private financial institution shall be commensurate with the level of risk taken by the institution.
