Banks for the World: Funding Global Growth and Meeting Private Sector Challenges
The establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the New Development Bank (BRICS Bank) has led to much debate about the shift in economic leadership in emerging markets. But are the newly created international financial institutions simply reinventing the wheel and trying to emulate structures that already exist? Or can they lead to a revolution in development assistance and the relationship between donor and client nations? Join us ahead of the World Bank and IMF annual meetings to discuss what defines a successful multilateral development bank, and what the new and existing MDBs should focus on to ensure sustainable growth that would enhance a country’s competitiveness.
