OECD global forum: banking on development

The present Public-Private Roundtable will bring together senior executives from developing countries, the financial services industry and official donor agencies – bilateral and multilateral – to discuss innovations in mobilising private development finance.

The Roundtable will constitute a meeting point of two discussions: the OECD Global Forum on Development and the World Economic Forum’s Financing for Development Initiative. In line with the 2002 Monterrey Consensus, both initiatives are currently generating recommendations for more effective development finance ahead, of the UN Follow-up Conference on Financing for Development, to be held in Doha, Qatar, in late 2008.
