| INTERNATIONALÂ BUSINESS AFFAIRS CORPORATION, publisher of Export Finance Guide, was established in 1979 to provide information, advisory and business development services to U.S. exporters, international corporations, and business associations. Since the mid-1990s its focus has been on business development information services, and since 1999 primarily on trade finance and newsletter and website publishing. Earlier, its primary focus was on U.S. government policies and programs and providing government relations consulting services to corporate clients. IBAC, in Bethesda, Maryland, next to Washington, DC, for many years published Export Finance Letter and ExImBank Letter on trade finance, and International Trade and Investment Letter and Washington Export Letter on government programs. It provided advisory and information services on Washington policies and programs to twenty major U.S. and Japanese corporations and a Brazilian trading group. The company also provided government relations, export development, and publication services to some fifteen business associations and world trade centers. That included managing the National Federation of Export Associations, the U.S. export trading company industry group. RICHARD BAROVICK, editor and publisher, is a veteran Washington journalist and business consultant specializing in international trade policies and export development. As a journalist, he has been a writer and editor with The Journal of Commerce in New York, and a Washington correspondent with Euromoney Trade Finance Report, The Journal of Commerce, Business America (U.S. Commerce Department export magazine), and World Trade Magazine.
