(Reuters) - Trade ties between the United States and Africa will be hit if the U.S. Congress decides to close the Export-Import bank, the Financial Times reported General Electric Co Chief Executive Jeff Immelt as saying. The Ex-Im Bank provides loans, loan guarantees and credit insurance to help private companies export goods overseas. Ex-Im will be forced to close if Congress does not renew its charter by Sept. 30. On Monday, GE said it would invest $2 billion in Africa by 2018.
