Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
The bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to submit, within 180 days of enactment, a detailed strategy and timeline for strengthening U.S. cooperation with allies to secure China’s substantial compliance with the OECD Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits and related Export-Import Bank goals. It amends provisions of the Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act of 2012 to set a new 10-year elimination goal tied to this Act, shift negotiating responsibilities toward the Secretary of the Treasury (in consultation with the USTR), and require negotiations at least twice per year.
Use of the IMF vote: conservatives see it as a useful lever, liberals worry it politicizes the Fund and could hinder cooperation; centrists want caution and allied coordination.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantive policy measure that combines statutory amendments and administrative directives to guide U.S. engagement on export credit practices and exchange‑rate determinations.

The bill also provides guidance for how the Secretary should assess whether China has manipulated its currency (including IMF Article VIII compliance, exchange-rate transparency, and sectoral support), allows a determination regardless of China’s global current account surplus, and requires the Treasury to instruct the U.S. IMF Governor to oppose any IMF quota increase for China for one year following such a determination.
On content alone the bill is narrowly focused, administratively oriented, and fiscally modest—attributes that improve chances of passage. However, it explicitly constrains aspects of U.S. multilateral engagement (IMF quota votes) and asserts a more adversarial posture toward China that could divide lawmakers and executives over delegation of foreign-policy authority. Those tensions, combined with the need for bipartisan consensus in the Senate for changes affecting international institutions, lower the overall likelihood.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantive policy measure that combines statutory amendments and administrative directives to guide U.S. engagement on export credit practices and exchange‑rate determinations. It is specific in assigning responsibilities, timelines, and criteria, and it amends existing statutory language directly.

A mainstream progressive would likely view the bill as a multilateral-oriented attempt to curb unfair state-supported export financing and currency practices that disadvantage U.S. workers and industries.
They would welcome use of allied pressure and OECD standards rather than unilateral tariffs, but worry about potential trade escalation, retaliation that could harm workers and consumers, and whether the approach protects labor, environmental, and human rights goals.
They would also be cautious about using IMF procedures in ways that might undermine multilateral institutions or broader cooperation on global issues.
A moderate would likely see the bill as a practical, institution-based attempt to address unfair export-credit subsidies and possible currency manipulation by China through diplomacy and multilateral institutions.
They would appreciate clearer timelines, more frequent negotiations, and use of the Treasury and USTR for technical engagement, but be wary that the measures may have limited leverage and could produce diplomatic fallout if used bluntly.
They would want measurable standards, cost-benefit analysis, and stronger interagency and allied coordination before endorsing aggressive steps at the IMF.
A mainstream conservative would generally welcome tougher measures to constrain China’s state-backed export subsidies and alleged currency manipulation as necessary to protect U.S. industries and national security.
They would view multilateral pressure with allies as useful but may prefer even stronger unilateral tools (sanctions, tariffs) if diplomacy fails.
The IMF opposition provision would be seen as a valuable lever to punish noncompliant behavior.
