New Development Bank Marks Decade, Focuses on Transition Finance and Sustainable Growth
The New Development Bank (NDB), established by BRICS countries over a decade ago, serves as an alternative to Western-led financial institutions like the World Bank and IMF. While its capital and lending volumes remain smaller, the NDB focuses on sustainable infrastructure and local-currency lending. Experts suggest the bank should shift from green finance to transition finance, targeting hard-to-abate sectors such as steel and cement, which are critical for decarbonisation and require substantial funding in emerging economies.
