## Summary

**Reduce the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) influence at the Inter‑American Development Bank (IDB)** by directing the U.S. Executive Director and Treasury to use America’s voice and vote, push procurement rules that favor U.S. and partner firms, and require public reporting on PRC ties. - U.S. financial and diplomatic officials would be directed to review IDB projects involving PRC entities for national security risks and to vote against projects that rely on PRC trust funds or increase PRC voting power. - IDB operations and borrowing countries would face new procurement priorities that favor United States and partner‑country firms over PRC entities and must be listed in a public registry of PRC‑funded or PRC‑participating projects since Jan 12, 2009. - The United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and Treasury would report on collaboration and PRC influence, starting with a DFC report within 180 days and a Treasury assessment that begins within 180 days and continues with updates over eight years.
