Strengthen financial systems
Many studies have highlighted the inherent fragility of financial systems in developing countries. These weaknesses include a lack of long-term financial resources, insufficient diversification of service offerings, weak risk management and governance arrangements, and limited monitoring capabilities.
In order to meet these challenges, AFD Group is committed to building stable, inclusive, and responsible financial systems. The Financial Systems 2018-2022 Strategy, in sync with the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement, is structured around three complementary objectives:
- Promoting access to a suitable and diversified financial offer
- Supporting the transformation of financial actors’ practices to promote a sustainable development model
- Strengthening the architecture of financial systems to ensure their stability
To achieve these objectives, AFD Group uses a range of diversified tools and approaches, including loans, guarantees, and technical assistance grants.
