The G7's 'Build Back Better World' (B3W) initiative is seen as a counter to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), offering an alternative that avoids the debt traps and local job displacement associated with BRI projects. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), established by merging the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and the Development Credit Authority of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), aims to catalyze private investment in infrastructure projects in emerging economies. Despite its efforts, DFC's impact in Indonesia is limited compared to China's substantial investments. The B3W initiative, supported by democratic nations, aims to provide a high-standard, value-driven, and transparent infrastructure investment alternative, with a commitment to invest $80 billion in African enterprises over the next five years. The success of B3W and DFC may depend on G7 countries' ability to collaborate effectively.
