The G20 leaders have made a commitment to accelerate reforms of multilateral development banks (MDBs) in order to address global challenges and maximize developmental impact, with a focus on the needs of low- and middle-income countries. India, as the outgoing G20 President, has emphasized the need for MDBs to be more sensitive to the changing developmental needs of the 21st century, particularly in relation to climate change. A panel of experts has been set up to craft these reforms, which include tripling sustainable lending levels by 2030 and creating new funding mechanisms. The G20 has also called for ambitious implementation of a roadmap on the capital adequacy framework of MDBs, which could unlock $200 billion worth of extra funding potential.
