CEO's Welcome banner image


Welcome to OPIC's website.

By helping U.S. businesses to investment overseas, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation is playing a vital role in the economic and social development of less-developed countries, as well as those in transition from non-market economies. These countries look to U.S. private sector-led investment to help create jobs, improve infrastructure, generate goods and services and support economic growth. At the same time, OPIC support makes it possible for U.S. businesses—particularly small businesses—to grow through investment in the world’s emerging markets.

I hope you will find our website a valuable source of information about OPIC and about the critical role we continue to play in supporting the economic development of emerging markets and developing nations.



Peter S. Watson
President and Chief Executive Officer
