IDB Transparency Act: Increasing Oversight of China's Influence in Development Bank.

This law mandates the US government to significantly increase scrutiny over the activities of the People's Republic of China within the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The goal is to ensure that development funds are used transparently, free from corruption, and aligned with US national security interests. Citizens benefit from greater accountability regarding how US contributions to international development projects are spent.
Key points
The US Treasury must produce a detailed report on the extent of China's influence and the involvement of Chinese companies in IDB-funded projects.
The US will use its voting power in the IDB to block projects deemed risky to US national interests or those with excessive Chinese funding.
Public summaries of these oversight reports must be released, enhancing public awareness of international financial activities.
