Exim Bank will raise Rs 19,500 crore during 2009-10 to provide export finance to Indian corporates, its Chariman and Managing Director T C Venkat Subramanian said today.
Subramanian said given the gloomy economic situation, raising availability of export trade finance was becoming a problem.
During the current year, the bank would raise $1 million from foreign resources and Rs 14,500 crore from domestic markets.
