📍 It’s the final day of #FfD4, and we just wrapped our last side event on one of the biggest questions in development finance: how can PDBs truly align with the SDGs? After three days of exciting and insightful discussions, this last session co-organized by @IDFC_Network , @FinanceInCommon and @ADB_HQ brought together development banks, think tanks, and private institutions to explore how PDBs are putting the SDGs into practice: through strategy, tools, and operations. From the IDFC Integration Tracker and AFD’s sustainability analysis, to SDG-based frameworks from ADB, DBSA, and Momentus Global, the event showcased real-world solutions to make alignment measurable, coherent, and impactful. 💡 The message was clear: SDG alignment is no longer a theoretical ambition. It’s a concrete shift in how PDBs operate, invest, and measure impact. Thank you to all our partners and speakers for ending #FfD4 on such a forward-looking note and let’s keep the momentum going.

📍 Today in Seville at #FfD4, we brought together policymakers, credit rating agencies, development banks, investors, and experts to address one of the most pressing challenges facing Public Development Banks (PDBs): reducing the cost of capital to unlock greater investment in sustainable development. Co-organized by @IDFC_Network and @FinanceInCommon, with the participation of three of our Club members, @AFD_en, @Bancoldex, and @DBSA_Bank, as well as partners @MIGA and @RothschildCo, the session focused on the need to rethink how PDBs are assessed, supported, and positioned within the global financial architecture. 🔑 Recognizing PDBs as a distinct, investable asset class is critical to closing the financing gap and scaling impact where it’s needed most. Thank you to all our speakers and participants for their insights and commitment. We look forward to continuing this essential conversation to unlock sustainable investment for a just and climate-resilient future.

🌍 In a world of growing crises, countries can’t keep carrying all the financial risk alone. At #FfD4 in Seville, our high-level side event, co-organized with @FinanceInCommon, TCX and 4P, brought the spotlight to a crucial question: How can we flip the script so finance works for borrowers, not against them? From Brazil’s innovative agri-lending to IADB’s smart risk-sharing models and Uzbekistan’s market-building efforts, we heard powerful ideas and concrete innovations. 🔍 Our session tackled real solutions: - Loans that adjust repayment terms after a disaster - Currency risk protection - Capacity building for debt management - Smarter clauses that reduce pressure on borrowers Finance must evolve: to protect, not punish.
