FiCS 2022About FiCS
The global network of Public Development Banks, gathering in Asia for the first time.
The global network of Public Development Banks
Finance in Common is the global movement bringing together all 550+ Public Development Banks (PDBs) in the world – encompassing international, regional, national, and subnational institutions – and their partners. Collectively, these PDBs manage $23 trillion in assets, representing over 10% of global investments each year. Its objective is to strengthen partnerships among PDBs to accelerate the convergence towards shared standards and best practices, to support banks’ commitments to shift their strategies towards sustainability, and to formulate practical, data-driven proposals to support sustainable development financing.
Delivering Growth for Sustainable Asia and Beyond
With FiCS being held in Asia for the first time, the 2027 Summit will highlight the region’s development priorities and draw from its experience to mobilize PDBs to deliver innovative, scalable financing solutions for sustainable development across the world.
Focus Areas
The Summit will spotlight three areas: mainstreaming nature positive solutions into sustainable development, accelerating finance into adaptation and resilience, and strengthening energy security with clean energy expansion.
Cross-cutting Themes
Across all focus areas, the Summit will tackle approaches for cities, sub sovereigns and SMEs; how to leverage regional cooperation initiatives and knowledge; the use of innovative financial instruments; mechanisms and facilities at PDBs; and new technologies, data, and technical solutions.
What the Summit aims to achieve
- Strengthen the role of Public Development Banks as a system by advancing collective action
- Demonstrate the delivery capacity of Public Development Banks by showcasing concrete progress achieved
- Accelerate sustainable and inclusive investment by promoting high-quality finance and expanding financing for climate, nature, resilience, gender equality and sustainable development
- Generate knowledge, foster partnerships and mobilize high-level commitments to strengthen multilateral cooperation and support the implementation of global sustainable development agendas
- Contribute to the rebuilding of multilateralism through engagement in other global fora
Who the Summit is for
The Summit will convene over 2,000 participants from PDBs, governments, the private sector, international organizations, civil society organizations, think-tanks, academia, and other development partners. It is designed for decision-makers and practitioners who can turn commitments into concrete action.
