History

Historical Context

In 1932 President Herbert Hoover created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, a $2 billion lender of last resort that funded banks, railroads and municipal projects during the Depression. Decades later, Bank of America’s $250 billion Critical Infrastructure Finance Initiative, running through 2027, mirrors the RFC’s public-private partnership model to spur digital, energy and core infrastructure jobs.
