YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Infrastructure is a vital engine of growth for emerging economies. Projects and financing are inadequate and dominated by China. In this conversation, former Trump administration officials David Malpass (President of the World Bank, 2019-2023) and Mitchell Silk (Assistant Secretary for International Markets at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, 2020-2021, and author of infrastructure book, A Seat at the Table) will explore how America can deliver a compelling alternative to Beijing's debt-driven playbook through strategic project selection, sound structuring, transparent procurement, and tapping into deep private-capital markets to accelerate growth in emerging economies.

Malpass and Silk will offer insights from their work advancing U.S. infrastructure finance frameworks across Asia, Latin America, and Africa. They will show that new infrastructure financing techniques combined with U.S. energy abundance and capital-market depth can strengthen global resilience and financial freedom as part of the Trump administration's energy and infrastructure agenda.
