The United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is a development finance institution and agency of the United States federal government. DFC invests in development projects primarily in lower- and middle-income countries. First authorized on 5 October 2018, the independent agency was formed 20 December 2019 by merging the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) with the Development Credit Authority (DCA) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), as well as with several smaller offices and funds.
DFC's lending capacity is used to provide loans, loan guarantees, equity, and insurance for private-sector led development projects. As with the OPIC, the DFC is predominately self-funding through the fees and interest collected during its regular operations.
