📅 26 – 28 February 2025
Cape Town, South Africa
The 5th Finance in Common Summit (FiCS), is co-hosted by the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) with the support of Agence Française de Développement (AFD). The 2025 summit will bring together global leaders, public development banks, the private sector, and philanthropies to reimagine and reshape sustainable finance.
FiCS 2025, themed “Fostering Infrastructure and Finance for Just and Sustainable Growth,” is a global platform for collaboration, financial innovation, and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A dedicated program on Sports, Art, and Culture for sustainable development will also be included for the first time within the main agenda, positioning these innovative sectors as a powerful lever to address global challenges.
The objective is to strengthen partnerships among PDBs to accelerate the convergence towards shared standards and best practices, to support banks’ commitments to shift their strategies towards sustainability, and to give PDBs more visibility in the global forum discussing international policy issues. By mobilizing PDBs and crucial stakeholders, from private sector to civil society organizations, the organization aims to encourage more coherent approaches to make the whole development finance system consistent with the common climate and sustainability objectives.
