Despite being an America-first politician, Donald Trump established the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) during his first term on January 2, 2020. The DFC was formed by merging the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA), with a budget significantly larger than OPIC's previous budget. From 2020 to 2024, the DFC approved substantial amounts, showing increased approval rates, albeit modest compared to peers, according to Uxolo data. It operates in diverse sectors, historically focusing on social infrastructure and renewable energy. Recently, the DFC has expanded to include significant investments in manufacturing, such as solar manufacturing facilities, and climate initiatives supporting Ecuador's blue bond. It also ventures into agriculture and mining. With a mission to promote US interests and counter Chinese influence in emerging markets, the DFC has already approved numerous transactions in Q1 2025, illustrating its potential for further growth. 📊 Subscribers can access more of Uxolo data here: https://lnkd.in/eMnU4-qH 🔗 If you are not a subscriber, you can explore Uxolo's subscription options here: https://lnkd.in/eUMwdn-a #DevelopmentFinance #SocialInfrastructure #EmergingMarkets #USDFC #DFI Source: #UxoloIntelligence

MDBs and DFIs have sharpened their product suites in their bid to mobilise private capital and realise the race to net zero emissions. But what were the standout innovations and trends from 2024? Max Thompson, Uxolo’s Managing Editor, explores the key trends that shaped development finance in 2024, including progress on outcome bonds, emergence of IDB Invest’s 'originate to share' model, and hopeful signs of improved data quality through the GEMs database. These advancements are set to drive sustainable investments, enhance risk understanding, and engage private capital more effectively in emerging markets. As these trends continue to evolve, what transformative impacts can we expect to see in the development finance landscape this year? 🔗 Read the full article here and find out Uxolo's predictions for 2025: https://lnkd.in/eZNT_GNM #Uxolo #Uxolointelligence #DevelopmentFinance #DevelopmentFinance2025 #OutcomeBonds #PrivateCapital

Collaboration between ECAs and DFIs is a growing focus in debt financing. Both play key roles in mobilising private investment, particularly for complex, large-scale projects. Together, they can significantly improve the viability of emerging market deals often considered too risky. However, their differing mandates—balancing export promotion, job creation, and sustainable development—can limit joint efforts. Data from TXF highlights increased collaboration in 2023, a record year for export finance, with further growth expected in 2024. High-profile projects such as NEOM Green Hydrogen and Baltic Power benefitted from combined ECA and DFI support. Yet, this partnership is less common in emerging markets, where its potential impact is greater. Large MDBs, like the European Investment Bank (EIB) and IFC - International Finance Corporation, dominate, but bureaucratic complexities and compliance demands hinder streamlined collaboration. Borrowers are calling for simplified processes. Could closer ties between ECAs and national DFIs provide the solution? 📊 Subscribers can access more of Uxolo data here: https://lnkd.in/eMnU4-qH 🔗 If you are not a subscriber, you can explore Uxolo's subscription options here: https://lnkd.in/eUMwdn-a #ExportFinance #InfrastructureInvestment #EmergingMarkets #ECA #DFI Source: #UxoloIntelligence
