Home About NDB
The Premier Bank for Emerging Economies
The New Development Bank (NDB) is a multilateral development bank established by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) with the purpose of mobilising resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging markets and developing countries (EMDCs).
Our strong mandate and potential put us in a unique position to contribute to global growth and development.
Overview
Working hand in hand with our member countries and stakeholders, we leverage capital for development purposes to accelerate economic growth, as well as to achieve environmental and social sustainability to improve the lives of people in our member countries.

Emerging Markets
We play an active role in expanding our impact on EMDCs by providing financing for infrastructure and sustainable development projects.
