America’s Ambitious But At-Risk Development Bank

The future of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) hangs in the balance as Congress deliberates on its reauthorization and potential expansion. This decision is crucial, as it could determine America's ability to maintain its economic influence globally, especially in the face of growing competition from China. The DFC plays a vital role in financing development projects that can bolster U.S. interests abroad, making this a significant moment for U.S. foreign policy and economic strategy.
