Chinese Loans to Latin America and the Caribbean Database

The Chinese Loans to Latin America and the Caribbean (CLLAC) Database tracks loans China’s development finance institutions, China Development Bank (CDB) and Export-Import Bank of China (Ex-Im Bank), to Latin American and Caribbean governments and state-owned enterprises. This database is the product of collaboration between the Inter-American Dialogue and the Boston University Global Development Policy Center.

In 2023, the CLLAC Database recorded two loans to just one LAC country (Brazil) totaling $1.3 billion, representing a slight increase in lending from the $863 million issued by CDB and Ex-Im Bank to the region in 2022.
