In cooperation with Shipping Solutions, Monex is proud to sponsor World Trade Month in the United States and is an opportunity to recognize the importance of exporting to the U.S. economy and encourage U.S. businesses to begin or expand their export efforts.

For the entire month of May, there will be educational events added to the calendar focused on everything you need to know about international trade. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover more about world trade.

U.S. exports of goods and services totalled $2.5 trillion in 2018 supporting 11.5 million U.S. jobs and accounting for nearly 13% of gross domestic product (GDP), according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Of that, 97% of the nearly 300,000 U.S. companies that export are small- or medium-sized businesses, which the U.S. Census Bureau defines as having 500 or fewer employees.

Companies that export grow revenue and profits faster, are less likely to go out of business and pay their workers more than companies that don’t. With 95% of the world’s consumers located outside the U.S., exports can help grow companies’ overall sales and profits, reduce their dependence on a single market, and extend the life of existing product lines.
