T2 - Hertie School Research Repository Publications N2 - This primer to Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) provides an up-to-date overview of the MDB system. In addition to developing a systematic definition, it outlines the development mission, business model, and financial operations of all currently existing MDBs. With a particular emphasis on financial realities, it compares MDB borrowing and lending activities, capital accumulation, and their methods for managing financial risks. This article highlights the financial necessities that MDBs face, and offers comparative descriptions that are accessible even to audiences without a finance background. Thereby, it provides academic and policy-oriented readers with intriguing, pertinent, and hitherto often-ignored information about the financial realities of MDBs.
