Before an intense week for @FinanceInCommon, we were honored, @AdamaMko, colleagues & I, to meet with UNSG @antonioguterres & DSG @AminaJMohammed to update them on the initiative that brings together all PDBs & partners. We were strongly encouraged by their support 🙏🏼

🌐 Public Development Banks are shaping the @G7 agenda

On April 29, Finance in Common (FiCS) will convene a high-level event in Paris, bringing together PDBs, international financial institutions, and policymakers to bridge the global investment gap.

This dialogue goes beyond high-level talk. We are diving deep into the mechanics of global finance:

➡️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Aligning MDBs, NDBs, and DFIs through Country Platforms to create seamless coordination frameworks.

➡️ 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀: Examining prudential frameworks and credit rating methodologies to unlock stalled capital.

➡️ 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹: Showcasing the power of guarantees, blended finance, and currency risk solutions to mobilize private investment at scale.

��� 29 April 2026
📍 Paris – Ministry of the Economy and Finance

FiCS is strengthening its strategic ties across Asia. 🌍🤝

On 4–5 February, a delegation from the FiCS Secretariat, composed of Adama MARIKO, Secretary General, Blaise Gonda, and Arthur Pataud, visited the headquarters of the @ADB_HQ in Manila.

Over two days, the delegation met with Masato Kanda, @ADBPresident; Fatima Yasmin, Vice-President (Sectors & Themes); Xinning Jia, Director General, Strategy, Policy & Partnerships; Seong-Wook Kim, Chief Partnership Officer; Yevgeniy Zhukov, Director General, CCSD; Christine Engstrom, Director General, SD3, and colleagues across strategy, finance, climate, and sector departments. The exchanges reflected strong momentum to deepen cooperation among Public Development Banks and reinforce coordination within the evolving international financial architecture.

🚀 The dialogue also turned toward FiCS 2027 in Asia, with several countries expressing interest in hosting and the selection process ongoing. Holding the Summit in Asia would mark a first for the Finance in Common Summit, in a region at the forefront of financial innovation, climate leadership, and capital mobilisation.

🙏 A sincere thank you to ADB and its teams for the warm welcome and excellent organisation of the visit.

🌍 In a world marked by growing divisions, Public Development Banks are choosing the cooperation path.

As part of the 5th FiCS anniversary series, @devex speaks with @igoldfajn, President of @the_IDB, on how working through Finance in Common has helped his institution strengthen collaboration with National and Subnational Development Banks 🤝, linking local knowledge with scale, capital, and risk-sharing capacity.

💡 The interview also highlights the FiCS Financial Innovation Lab, launched following the 2023 Summit in Cartagena, as a collaborative space where PDBs work together on concrete financial solutions, particularly for climate and sustainable development.

"Historically, PDBs have operated independently. But that is changing."

On the occasion of the 5th FiCS anniversary, @devex is featuring a series of interviews with voices from the global PDB community on the value of collaboration and collective action.

The first interview, features Jin Liqun, Immediate Past President and Chair of the Board of Directors of @AIIB_Official and co-host of the Finance in Common Summit 2025 in Cape Town. He shares his perspective on the evolving role of PDBs, the importance of working together as a system, and the value of FiCS as a global platform for collaboration.

A conversation on the evolving role of Public Development Banks and the place of Finance in Common in this transformation.

▶️ This is the story of a summit that became a system.

From Paris to Cape Town, and from the G20 to the COPs, Finance in Common has grown into a global network bringing together 540 Public Development Banks, 14 coalitions, and over 500 experts.

In this video, our Secretary General, @AdamaMko, retraces the milestones that shaped FiCS over five years of collective work — made possible by committed partners, active coalitions, a dedicated team, and above all, an exceptional community that turned it into far more than an annual meeting.

✨ Five years ago, FiCS began as a Summit.
Today, it stands as a System.

As this year comes to an end, we’re opening a special #FiCS5YEARS series looking back at the journey that brought us here: from a first gathering in 2020 to a global coalition of 540 Public Development Banks working with one united voice.

Over the next weeks, we’ll look back at the key moments, the achievements, and the transformations that marked these first five years. And we’ll share a glimpse of what comes next.

📘 In mid-December, we’ll also unveil our Five-Year Report, capturing the progress, lessons, and impact of this first chapter.

Join us as we celebrate 5 years of momentum, impact, and collaboration. 🎉

Climate finance isn’t only about mobilizing capital, it’s about enabling institutions to use that capital well 💸
️
Yesterday at the UNFCCC Pavilion at #COP30, FiCS and @IDFC_Network hosted a session highlighting that systemic coordination in aligning national and international resources is essential to unlocking the full potential of public development banks in scaling climate-smart, inclusive finance. 📈

What we explored:
📌 TA is the backbone of successful projects—yet often overlooked in favor of new financial instruments
🌐 South-South peer learning is in high demand, shifting away from traditional North-South knowledge transfer
🛠️ Innovative models like D-Lab (DBSA) and PDB Guarantee Hub (NDC Partnership) are scaling impact through replication and guarantees.
💡 Gender-lens investing and long-term capacity building drive sustainable change.

The session also introduced the 𝗙𝗶𝗖𝗦 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗯, a new platform designed to connect PDBs with global TA providers, harmonize knowledge, and elevate TACB within the international financial architecture.

This high-quality finance goes beyond single projects.

In essence, Transformational Finance for Climate enables the development and implementation of a 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲-𝗳𝗼𝗿-𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, echoing the calls emerging from COP30 discussions on the NCQG and the implementation of 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝟮.𝟭(𝗰).
