Will the G7's Lobito Corridor Counter China's Belt & Road Initiative? | Mapping Minerals Diplomacy

Описание: In 2022, G7 leaders launched the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGI) - a bold, multi-hundred-billion-dollar initiative to connect resource-rich regions to global markets and offer a strategic alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative; a project which has already funneled nearly $96 billion into the metals and mining sector.

In this episode, CSIS' Gracelin Baskaran sits down with Helaina Matza, former Acting Special Coordinator for PGI and current Chief Strategic Development Officer at TechMet to discuss:
How PGI is changing the global infrastructure game
The impact of the Lobito Corridor project on minerals diplomacy and lessons learned for future PGI-backed projects
Financing mechanisms under PGI and the role development finance institutions can play to accelerate implementation
