From 9 to 12 November, the Finance in Common Summit, first world summit of public development banks (PDBs), takes place under the patronage of Emmanuel Macron. 450 public development banks are gathered to discuss their role, ambition, challenges and opportunities. The summit also brings together the broader financial community to shape a financial system in which public development banks would have the capacity to redirect and leverage all financial flows in the direction of climate and SDOs (participation in the November 11-12 summit is by invitation only).
