What is FiCS?

↪ FiCS, launched in 2020 at the Paris Peace Forum, aims to strengthen the role of public development banks (PDBs) in the global financial system. This summit promotes collaboration between PDBs and other financial and non-financial actors to leave no one behind and align all financial flows with the Paris Agreement, the Global Biodiversity Framework, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

↪ FiCS brings together 530 members worldwide, including multilateral and regional banks, and benefits from the support of international organizations and researchers to guide the role of PDBs as key actors in the SDGs and drivers of change.
