OBOR AND MARSHALL PLAN EXPENDITURES
Finally, the key to the OBOR is economic development. While there is no consensus on exact amounts, the cumulative aid in the Marshall Plan may have totaled $13 billion (some $130 billion in 2016 dollar value). These efforts pale in comparison with the OBOR, which involves far greater cumulative investments, which are currently anticipated at $4 trillion to $8 trillion, depending on timeline and scenario estimates (see table).
