Expanded DFC's operational scope to include high-income countries, provided it serves U.S. interests, potentially opening new markets for American businesses.
Prohibition of support for projects involving governments or state-owned enterprises from "countries of concern" (e.g., China, Russia, Venezuela), aiming to protect U.S. interests.
Establishment of an Equity Investments Account, allowing DFC to retain and reinvest earnings, increasing financial flexibility.
Extended DFC's operational termination date to December 31, 2031, ensuring long-term support for development initiatives.
