Fresh from a tripling of its financial resources, the Washington-based US International Development Finance Corp. is opening a Wall Street office to lure more private-sector talent and deals.

“Our new presence in New York City represents a significant step in addressing the critical need for DFC to operate at the pace of the private sector,” said Ben Black, who President Donald Trump tapped to lead the DFC last year.
