What they say about us

“PDBs play a major role in the global economy. They have immense financial power — $23.2 trillion in assets and up to $1.4 trillion in annual investments."

Dr. Alvaro Lario, President, IFAD

"The European Commission supports PDBs globally through the PDB Platform and has extensive experience on mobilization of capital for food systems through commercial banks, pension funds, and private equity fund."

Adolfo Alonso Cires, Policy Officer at INTPA.E, European Commission

"The importance of coalitions is to mobilize funds and create investment opportunities, where there is a greater convergence in financing models to support development goals."

Federica Diamanti, AVP, External Relations Department, IFAD

“On the climate, public development banks must make themselves heard on the global stage”

Adama Mariko, Secretary General - Finance in Common, AFD

"PDBs have a mandate to the poorest and the most vulnerable. AFD has been supporting PDBs for many years, actually for over 80 years since its creation."

Gilles Kleitz, Director, IRD
