GE adding 1,000 new jobs in Britain on Ex-Im closure

General Electric announced Thursday that it will create up to 1,000 new energy jobs in Britain after winning export financing of up to $12 billion from a British agency. Under an agreement with the UK Export Finance agency, GE will obtain financing to support confirmed and potential energy orders in Brazil, Ghana, India, Mozambique and other markets. In exchange, GE will pump up investment in its British operations, adding up to 1,000 jobs as it wins orders.
