GDP Center Databases Featured in NY Times

Two databases developed at the Global Development Policy (GDP) Center were prominently featured by the New York Times as part of an interactive story on China’s vision for a global network of trade, investment and infrastructure: 

• The China Global Energy Finance Database 
• The China-Latin America Finance Database

The article, entitled “China Rules: How China Became a Superpower,” was published by the New York Times on November 18, 2018.

The China Global Energy Finance database, produced by the GDP Center, tracks and displays this overseas development finance in the energy sector provided by China’s two global policy banks—the China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China. The China-Latin America Finance Database is the result of collaboration between the Inter-American Dialogue and the Global Economic Governance Initiative at Boston University’s Global Development Policy Center  following Chinese lending in Latin-America.

The GDP Center is a university-wide research center in partnership with the Office of the Vice President and Associate Provost for Research and the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies. The GDP Center’s mission is to advance policy-oriented research for financial stability, human well-being, and environmental sustainability.
