The fifth Finance in Common (FiCS) annual summit will take place on Feb. 26-28, 2025, cohosted by the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in Cape Town, Republic of South Africa, with the support of AFD (Agence Française de Développement).
Aligning with South Africa’s upcoming role as Chair of the G20 in 2025 and with the overarching theme of “Fostering Infrastructure and Finance for Just and Sustainable Growth” the Summit will focus on key development issues such as infrastructure for climate action, adaptation and resilience, inclusive finance and digital transformation. The event will be a Summit of Solutions where public development banks (PDBs) and their stakeholders deliver concrete and impactful responses on the path to making sustainability the new normal of finance.
The FiCS, a global initiative launched in 2020 by the World Federation of Development Finance Institutions (WFDFI), the International Development Finance Club (IDFC) and Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to mobilize all PDBs with their stakeholders, serves as a platform for political impetus, rallying all PDBs and their stakeholders together. The Summit provides a valuable opportunity for financial announcements, commitments and the delivery of key outcomes.
