| ALB GUIDE TO THE BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE (BRI) 2018
Publication Date: November 2018
There is no doubting the vastness of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), or its staggering ambition. A development campaign through which China wants to boost trade and stimulate economic growth across Asia and beyond, the BRI will build massive amounts of infrastructure connecting the Middle Kingdom to countries around the globe. By some estimates, China plans to pump $150 billion into such projects each year, and according to a report released by ratings agency Fitch last year, an incredible $900 billion in projects were planned or underway.
The implementation of BRI is set to result in a number of complex and unprecedented issues arising from this international undertaking, including, but not limited to: cross-border issues related to M&A and fiscal regulations, contract models, currency risks, financing arrangements, choice of law and dispute resolution. The ALB Guide to the BRI 2018 will help explain these issues with clarity for the benefit of in-house counsel by compiling in-depth articles written by prominent law firms.
