UPS expects continued strong U.S. export growth: CFO

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Package delivery company United Parcel Service Inc (UPS.N) expects double-digit growth in its U.S. export business to continue throughout 2008 thanks to the weak dollar, a top official said on Wednesday.

"U.S. exports are the only bright spot in an otherwise dark sky right now," Chief Financial Officer Kurt Kuehn told Reuters in a telephone interview.

UPS also expects growth in its business between Asia and Europe to continue at robust levels and is on track to complete its $10 billion share buyback program by the end of 2009, Kuehn added.
