PDB Database

The Institute of New Structural Economics at Beijing University and the French Development Agency have created the first comprehensive database on Public Development Banks (PDBs) and Development Financing Institutions (DFIs).

PDBs and DFIs are vital for addressing crises, tackling climate change, and driving global economic transformation. However, identifying these institutions and understanding their role remains a significant challenge. This database fills that gap, helping redirect resources toward sustainable development.

With most PDBs operating at national (52%) or sub-national (22%) levels, they play a key role in "last mile" banking, deeply rooted in local economies and communities.
