  • New South–South Co-Operation and the Brics New Development Bank
    NEW SOUTH–SOUTH CO-OPERATION AND THE BRICS NEW DEVELOPMENT BANK BY ZHU JIEJIN INTRODUCTION The establishment of the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) marks a milestone in BRICS co- operation and is a symbolic achievement in the reform of global financial governance. It will help to promote the financing of infrastructure among developing countries, improve global governance and propel the revival of the global economy. From China’s perspective, the NDB will be the first international financial organisation to be headquartered in China and will help promote China’s influence in the international development system while raising its profile as a responsible power. At present, there are a number of misperceptions surrounding the role of the NDB. Some mistakenly view it as an institution whose objective is to challenge the post-Second World War international economic order, reverse the Bretton Wood System, overturn the US’ finance hegemony, and eventually plunge global finance governance into chaos. Rather, as the first international development finance institution proposed by several developing great powers since the Second World War, the foundation and strategic positioning of the NDB lies in new South–South co-operation. Its purpose is to act as an innovate international financing mechanism to better serve the needs of developing countries in terms of infrastructure and sustainable development, rather than challenging or replacing the existing multilateral development institutions. WHY ESTABLISH THE NDB? Developing countries face enormous investment and financing gaps to fund infrastructure development. These have only worsened since the global financial crisis in 2008. The failure by the multilateral development banks controlled by developed countries to make up the gap prompted BRICS to establish a new development bank.

  • Multilateral Development Banks: Overview and Issues for Congress
    Multilateral Development Banks: Overview and Issues for Congress Updated February 11, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41170 Multilateral Development Banks: Overview and Issues for Congress Summary Multilateral development banks (MDBs) provide financial assistance to developing countries in order to promote economic and social development. The United States is a member, and donor, to five major MDBs: the World Bank and four regional development banks, including the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the Inter-American Development Bank. The MDBs primarily fund large infrastructure and other development projects and provide loans tied to policy reforms by the government. The MDBs provide non-concessional financial assistance to middle-income countries and some creditworthy low-income countries on market- based terms. They also provide concessional assistance, including grants and loans at below- market rate interest rates, to low-income countries. The Role of Congress in U.S. Policy at the MDBs Congress plays a critical role in U.S. participation in the MDBs through funding and oversight. Congressional legislation is required for the United States to make financial contributions to the banks. Appropriations for the concessional windows occur regularly, while appropriations for the non-concessional windows are less frequent. Congress exercises oversight over U.S. participation in the MDBs, managed by the Treasury Department, through confirmations of U.S. representatives at the MDBs, hearings, and legislative mandates. For example, legislative mandates direct the U.S. Executive Directors to the MDBs to advocate certain policies and how to vote on various issues at the MDBs.
