Pleased to meet @WorldBank President Banga in my first meeting as Minister for International Development.

The World Bank is one of the UK’s most important partners for delivering growth and jobs, tackling conflict and irregular migration.

Great to see the MDBs taking steps to work more closely together and to make it easier for countries to borrow for climate and development programmes.

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Pleased to see @WorldBank and @ADB_HQ taking steps to work more closely together to deliver infrastructure projects.

This will reduce bureaucracy, increase speed, and save costs – modernising the delivery of development finance and strengthening the global economy.

Proud of our team's involvement in this initiative. The UK guarantee will enable an additional $1.2 in lending for climate projects in Asia and the Pacific at no upfront cost to the UK.

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

#ADBNews: ADB and partners showed their commitment to climate change financing at a #COP29 event for IF-CAP.

The bank is targeting total guarantees of $2.5 billion from its partners for its existing portfolio, which could free up $11.25 billion in dedicated climate financing for Asia and the Pacific: https://t.co/E9r6Lxd6x8

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

IF-CAP is a financing mechanism that enhances ADB's lending capacity to unlock resources for mitigation and adaptation.

Tune in tomorrow at 5:30 pm (GMT+4) to learn how financing solutions can support the region’s battle against climate change: https://t.co/rhvu0TzHRz

On my way to the @WorldBank #WBGMeetings in Washington D.C. Here’s why it will be an important moment 👇

We are thrilled to launch #IDBImpact+, a new approach and a new ethos that unifies and focuses the work of the IDB, @BIDInvest and @IDB_Lab under one goal: we will transform for greater development impact and scale for the countries and people of #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean – and by extension, the world.

Watch and stay tuned! 👉 https://t.co/P7SFzrDkO7

We must protect vulnerable countries in Latin America & the Caribbean. That's why the UK voted for a $3.5bn capital increase for @BIDInvest, which is pioneering business models to attract private finance for the #SDGs.
