At the IDB, we believe that when multilateral development banks (MDBs) work as one system, we amplify our impact. Together, we’ve deepened our dialogue with credit rating agencies to foster a greater understanding of the unique features and financial strength of MDBs. This ongoing engagement has led to more accurate assessments and enables innovation in how we manage capital to increase lending capacity and maximize development impact. We thank S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Ratings, and Fitch Ratings for their openness for continued dialogue and for considering the MDB community’s perspectives.
