our long-term ambition Resetting globalisation

Driving new standards and creating innovative solutions for long-term growth

A model of globalisation based on transparency, inclusion and dialogue

We believe in the potential of globalisation to enable economic growth and increase participation in the world economy – but in its current form, it must be reimagined to ensure that it best serves all people, everywhere. 

As a leading trade bank, we can connect the capital, expertise and ideas needed to drive new standards and create innovative solutions for more equitable and sustainable growth.
