Chair in International Architecture of Development Finance

Created in 2022 the Chair "International Architecture of Development Finance" analyses the reforms needed to modernise the global financial architecture. 

This purpose is led by a small group of personalities known for their extensive experience in the field, all acting in a personal capacity. The purpose of the group is to independently examine what the global system of financing for development should become in light of the current international situation and the lessons learned since the Second World War.

↪ A policy brief was presented at the meeting organised by the Paris Dialogue on 28 April at the OECD, in which Ferdi emphasised that the allocation of concessional funds among countries is now a priority and that a clear message from the G7 is expected. Read the paper
