Аннотация

Leading the world in the sphere of outward direct investment, the US has placed less than 1% of its investment volume in Africa. However, the energy transition can stimulate investment and change the situation. Without reliable and sustainable supplies of the necessary minerals, the leadership of the United States in key sectors of the global economy is in question. The growing influence of China is also in the area of interest of the American side, since it is Africa that is the focus of the commitments related to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) at the regional level., Congress's desire to strengthen U.S. development finance instruments and respond to China's Belt and Road Initiative (OBOR) has prompted the creation of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation/DFC, which will carry out all the major functions. In assisting US investors, the American side sees a reliable alternative to public investment by authoritarian governments and strategic competitors, applying best practices in terms of transparency, environmental and social safeguards, and taking into account the acceptable level of partner debt. A special arsenal of tools has been developed countering China.
