The IFF collaborated with Central Banking and conducted the inaugural Belt and Road Survey of over 30 central banks of BRI countries to seek results, issues and experiences of cooperation with bilateral and multilateral partners on Belt and Road projects over the past five years. The majority of countries surveyed expected the China-initiated Belt and Road initiative to contribute to their economic growth and believe that efficient cooperation will help maximize the potential of the Belt and Road.
