  • Islamic Development Bank Statistical Reporting to the Oecd Development Assistance Committee (Dac)
    MARCH 2014 ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK STATISTICAL REPORTING TO THE OECD DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE (DAC) This note has been prepared by the Statistics and Development Finance Division of the Development Co-operation Directorate. The authors would like to thank the Islamic Development Bank for its collaboration. Introduction The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) was established in 1975 and data on its concessional financing have been available in DAC statistics since 1977. In 2011, the IsDB expanded its reporting to cover non-concessional project financing to developing countries. This resulted in a major increase in reporting coverage, as concessional financing represents only about 10 per cent of IsDB’s total project financing in developing countries. In that same year, IsDB started to report details on individual projects (activity-level reporting). Activities of other entities of the IsDB Group and special funds will be incorporated in the reporting in the coming years. In collaboration with the Statistics and Development Finance Division of the Development Co-operation Directorate of the OECD, IsDB has mapped its financial instruments, all of which conform to Islamic financing principles, to the OECD-DAC’s reporting system. This has enabled IsDB to report its concessional development finance and other resource flows to the OECD at the activity level in the standardised CRS++ format. Its data can now be incorporated in various analyses based on DAC statistics in a comparable manner with those of bilateral providers and, for example, the other International Financial Institutions (IFIs). The OECD-DAC warmly welcomes the efforts of the IsDB to report its flows and stands ready to collaborate with other Arab donors to improve the tracking of development co-operation flows at the global level.

  • ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK (Isdb)
    IsDB Profile ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK (IsDB) Even though a signatory to the Paris Declaration, participation of the Islamic Development Bank in the 2008 Paris monitoring survey was limited, with only 2 entries (Afghanistan and Albania). Because of this restricted coverage, results cannot be relied upon to be representative and are thus not reported. 1) QUANTITY OF AID 1.1. Current/Recent Quantity Performance: approval based 2006-2007* (US$ mio) ODA Net Approvals 422.9 *IsDB uses the lunar calendar, i.e. 2006-2007 corresponds to AH1427. Source: IsDB (2007a, table 2.3, p38). The Islamic Development Bank (henceforth IsDB) approvals for concessional financing projects stood at US$ 422.9 million for the year AH 1427 (which is according to the lunar calendar the year ending January 2007), up 24% compared to AH1426 (Table 1.1). Disbursements from Ordinary Capital Resources (of which concessional financing makes up 25%) stood at Islamic Dinars (ID) 584 million (roughly US$ 875 million) in AH 1427, up 34% compared to AH 1426. However, these disbursement figures include non-concessional financing (IsDB, 2007a, p45). In 2002, the IsDB increased its authorized capital from 6 to 15 billion Islamic Dinars (just over US$ 22.6 billion as of March, 2007) and the subscribed capital from ID 4.1 billion to ID 8.1 billion (roughly USD 12.2 billion). Based on this, it has substantially raised the number of approved operations and increased the amount of commitments by more than 150% to around US$ 5.2 billion a year for 2006-2007. In 2005-2006 (=lunar year 1426 AH or year ending on January 30th), gross disbursements were US$ 2.6 billion (IsDB, 2006a).
