ABSTRACT
Regional Development Banks (RDB) have common characteristics. First, these banks pursue
common goals stemming from the needs of developing countries. They
are called to implement
long-term lending for regional development projects; paying special attention to regional
cooperation and crediting of regional associations; develop a development
strategy taking into
account regional characteristics. Second, about 1/3 of the members of development banks are
developed countries. Since they own a significant part of the banks' capital, they have a significant
impact on their activities. Any decision of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) can be
blocked by the US, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) by
Japan and the US, which together
have 1/3 of the votes. Thanks to the principle of distribution of votes depending on the authorized
capital, the influence on the Regional Development Banks of developed countries is maintained.
Thirdly, Regional Development Banks have the same type of procedures related to the formation
of obligations, mobilization of resources to special funds, credit policy, similar to the World Bank
Group in many ways, but at the same time they have their differences. The formation of the main
functions of the RDB took place under the influence of the general trends of socio-economic
changes in the respective regions and at the same time was based on the functional characteristics
characteristic of development banks. The implementation of functions is based on priorities,
which in turn are not rigidly static, but evolve according to the needs of the respective region. The
article is devoted to the current state of regional development banks'
activities in developing
countries.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is a financial institution that
provides an investment vehicle designed to support free enterprise and democratic values in
developing countries. The EBRD's understanding of how a market economy works and its
relationship with other international financial institutions have also
enabled the Bank to play an
important role in stabilizing the region and developing transition plans for economic recovery
after the shock of the 2008 global financial crisis. Part of the Bank's response to this crisis was a
significant and rapid increase in the volume of our operations. Of all the development banks, only
the EBRD has a political mandate to provide assistance only to countries "committed to and
implementing the principles of multi-party democracy, pluralism and market economy".
Environmental principles and a commitment to sustainable energy are also central to the Bank's
operations.
The Asian Development Bank became the third Regional Development
Bank after the Inter-
American Development Bank and the African Development Bank. According to its founding
documents, the ADB's objectives are to promote economic development and promote economic
cooperation among the states of the region. In order to achieve these goals,
ADB has been
entrusted with a number of functions: helping to attract private and public investments to the
