<div><p>Infrastructure is the foundation of all economic development. DFC investments in infrastructure and critical minerals help address the multitrillion-dollar global gap for infrastructure financing, and counter Chinas growing influence around the world. &nbsp;</p><p>DFC investments in this sector include projects that build seaports, roads, airports, railways, data centers, and IT networks. These investments also help create opportunities for American businesses in high-growth markets and strengthen national security by diversifying supply chains for materials essential to the industries of the future.&nbsp;</p></div>
