Description

Multilateral Development Banks’ Capital Adequacy Frameworks: options for reform? | ODI: Think change

In 2021, G20 members created an independent panel to evaluate whether multilateral development bank (MDB) shareholder capital is being used efficiently and to understand whether MDBs can lend more without threatening their long-term financial integrity. This was in response to a growing sense among policy-makers that MDBs need reforming if they are to play a more meaningful role in addressing the global crises of today and tomorrow.

The panel’s Independent Review of MDBs’ Capital Adequacy Frameworks report was subsequently published in July. It centred on five recommended reforms: re-evaluating MDB risk limits, recognising the benefits of callable capital, expanding the use of financial innovations, enhancing dialogue with credit rating agencies, and promoting greater transparency regarding MDB credit performance.

As well as discussing the recommendations of the report and framing the emerging issues and priorities, this webinar will explore the following questions:

- Are MDB capital adequacy policies fit for purpose to face current global challenges?

- Can MDBs safely lend more without threatening their bond ratings?
