From the article:
"The Center for Global Development published a blog post asking a number of questions on the Kodak deal, including if it meets DFC’s requirement of additionality, which would mean it couldn’t raise the funding elsewhere, how the company was selected, what its impact would be, and whether it would meet fiduciary standards.
'These are key questions we would ask for any development project, but they are also salient in the US context as America’s new development finance institution veers far off its mandate. The stakes are too high for mistakes,' they wrote.
On Twitter, CGS Senior Fellow Scott Morris wrote that: 'Crisis exigencies are what they are, but it’s worth noting that this is pretty much doing the opposite of what @DFCgov was set up to do.'"
