Ex-Im Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States.

The US embassy said he would hold discussions with government officials and business leaders during the visit.

He will also deliver a speech on the last day of his visit, Thursday, at a lunch hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce.

The embassy said Hochberg had worked to increase the global presence of US exporters in fields such as renewable energy, construction and farm machinery, medical technology, and avionics over the past six years.

Before that, from 2004 to 2008, he was dean of the Milano School of Management and Urban Policy at The New School in New York City.
