Dan Ford, a Quincy Institute researcher who studies DFC projects, and Karthik Shankaran, a geoeconomics fellow at Quincy, discuss the DFC’s reauthorization and why framing it as a tool to beat China is risky. They cover the Lobito Corridor, limits of development finance against Belt and Road, shifting congressional mandates, and where the DFC could better focus such as energy, critical minerals, and supply chains.
