The Evolving Role of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC)

May 12, 2017 • 1:00 – 2:30 pm EDT
Please join us for a public event on the evolving role of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). The Trump Administration’s budget proposes to defund OPIC, raising many questions. Does America need a development finance institution? How does OPIC benefit the American taxpayer? Would the private sector step up in its absence? If the administration changes its mind, what should OPIC look like in the future? Please take a look at a recent Forbes Article that our Director, Dan Runde, published. This conversation with leaders in the field promises to challenge, educate, and present multiple viewpoints on these important questions. We will be joined by the last three heads of OPIC, Elizabeth Littlefield, Rob Mosbacher, and Peter Watson.
