This event will coincide with the launch of an updated version of the Dialogue's online China and Latin America Finance Database, which is produced in collaboration with Global Economic Governance Initiative (GEGI) at Boston University.
Our session will feature commentary from Kevin Gallagher, associate professor of international relations at Boston University, who will examine the $20.1 billion in Chinese finance issued to Latin American and Caribbean governments in 2013. An expert on China-Latin America relations, Dr. Gallagher is co-author of The Dragon in the Room: China and the Future of Latin American Industrialization and the Dialogue's "The New Banks in Town: Chinese Finance in Latin America," the only comprehensive account of Chinese lending activity in Latin America. Additional remarks will be provided by a distinguished analyst from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
