The US Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has been reauthorized as part of the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act, significantly increasing its investment capacity from $60 billion to $205 billion. This aims to enhance connectivity projects worldwide, particularly in high-risk areas.

The reauthorization allows DFC to operate in more countries, emphasizes catalytic investments, and introduces a $5 billion equity revolving fund. However, challenges remain regarding bureaucratic processes and the need for sector-specific expertise.
