Report Launch of Strategic Directions for the DFC: Supporting Development and National Security

Tuesday, September 24, 2019 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
CSIS Headquarters

Download the Report


 

The United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), which starts operations in October 2019, will modernize the U.S. development finance architecture. The DFC will expand the size and capabilities of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and will seek to crowd-in vitally needed private sector investments in low- and lower-middle income countries through new tools such as local currency loans, first-loss guarantees, and equity investments. The DFC is expected to help solidify the work of different U.S. agencies that work on fostering the private sector abroad.

During this armchair conversation and panel discussion, the Project on Prosperity and Development will share its findings on how the DFC can work more effectively in the modern international development arena, improve coordination among U.S. allies and local businesses, and better support U.S. national security interests.

Please join us for this timely discussion and the launch of our report on September 24th.

This event is made possible by the Smith Richardson Foundation's generous support to CSIS.
