Abstract
This paper is organized in four parts. Part one presents an overview and estimates of China’s emerging development finance architecture. Part two exhibits our estimates of the extent to which China’s development banks are financing energy projects in developing countries in comparative perspective. Part three identifies some of the risks associated with China’s overseas energy investments. Part four summarizes our findings and provides suggestions for further research and policy.
