Data on bilateral development finance institutions can provide a high-level overview of what they are doing and where they are working, but not necessarily why they are choosing the investments they are making.
Each DFI has its own parameters to define regions and financial instruments, and these are not always shared publicly — making it difficult to compare their work or in even fully understand it. Despite the challenges, there are still insights to be gained from looking at where DFIs are operating and who they are supporting.
To support greater insights into DFIs and their objectives, Devex has collated more than 3,000 investments publicly accessible from 17 DFIs made between 2012-2017. High-level time series data has been collected on 16 — excluding FinDev Canada which was founded in 2017 — and profile information is available for all. These profile and investment details are provided in our new DFI tableau interactive.
