DFCC Bank was set up in 1955 as Sri Lanka’s pioneer Development Finance Institution on the recommendation of the World Bank. It is one of the oldest development banks in Asia, and renowned for its project financing and SME financing expertise.

“The DFCC, Sri Lanka’s pioneer Development Finance Institution (DFI), completed 50 years of successful operation in 2006. Many similar institutions established in other parts of the world, most notably following World War II, have ceased to exist because they have become financially not viable. The DFCC is one among a small number of DFIs that not only has continued to remain viable, but also has been successful in transforming itself into a multi-product and robust financial institution in a changing international and local environment” -- The World Bank: “DFCC Bank: One Among the Successful Few”, July 2007

Setting DFIs' Agenda for Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),(Perspectives from Africa, Asia & Latin America)

Resources required for implementation of SDGs are substantial.

Thus, DFIs have a critical role to play in implementation of SDGs in their community by evolving innovative sources of revenue.

DFIs also need to prioritize SDGs to ensure that focus will be on implementation of the most critical SDGs.

(Perspectives from Africa, Asia & Latin America)

Going forward, with the huge potential to raise financial resources, we need a better insight into DFIs to understand how DFIs can leverage their role with limited capital and mobilize institutional investors to reduce the gap for SDG funding needs on a priority basis.
