A BRICS DEVELOPMENT BANK: A DREAM COMING TRUE?

Stephany Griffith-Jones

No 215, UNCTAD Discussion Papers from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Abstract: BRICS leaders have approved creating a new development bank which would fund long-term investment in infrastructure and more sustainable development. This paper documents the scale of unmet needs in these areas in developing and emerging economies. It then estimates the likely level of loans that this new development bank could make, under different assumptions. It highlights the complementary role that such a bank would play with existing development banks and shows its importance for enhancing the influence of BRICS and other developing countries in the international development architecture.
