According to Amac News: Emirates Development Bank EDB highlighted its views on national development financing, SME resilience and the evolving treasury landscape at the Middle East Treasury Summit ACT 2024.
As the UAE's only development bank, EDB reiterated its commitment to bridging the financing gap and prioritizing financing for businesses in sectors of strategic importance to the UAE's economic diversification agenda.
EDB uses a proprietary 'Development Impact Scorecard' to assess the wider economic impact of projects and ensure alignment with national priorities.
