Much of China’s international finance has come from the China Development Bank (CDB) and China Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank). Both were created as “policy banks” to support the Chinese government’s policy objectives. Chinese policy banks are occasionally the sole lender for major public works projects in the region, but often partner with international or domestic banks when lending to Latin American and Caribbean governments or companies. Although CDB and Ex-Im Bank are still active in the region, providing concessional loans, export credits, and other forms of financing, a wider range of Chinese financial institutions are now active in the region, including China’s commercial banks, such as ICBC and Bank of China, CITIC and other state-owned enterprises, co-financing facilities, and private equity funds, among others. Even if China’s policy banks continue to lend at relatively low levels, as they have since 2017, the combined effect of Chinese policy bank, commercial bank, and other forms of lending will ensure a sizable Chinese financial presence in the region for years to come, potentially in a wider variety of projects.
