NDB FLAGSHIP GOVERNORS SEMINAR "Development Financing in an Era of Technological Revolution" The world is in the midst of a profound technological revolution. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and digital technologies are redefining how economies function and how societies are organized; advances in energy generation and storage are reshaping the foundations of industrial production and everyday life; innovations in biological sciences are transforming medical treatment and longevity.

What distinguishes this moment is not merely the breadth of these shifts, but their pace and complexity: unfolding simultaneously and at accelerating speed, the dynamics and consequences of the current technological revolution remain deeply uncertain, making adaptation increasingly difficult. In this context, Emerging Markets and Developing Countries (EMDCs) are at a pivotal juncture. While technological innovations offer significant potential, EMDCs face major obstacles in realizing their benefits. Without a strong focus on local innovation, EMDCs risk greater dependence on advanced economies, leading to higher costs, less adaptability, and security and sovereignty concerns.

Meanwhile, mobilizing adequate financial and knowledge resources to scale up technological adoption across industries and social groups remains a pressing need. Just as important is the challenge of ensuring inclusiveness and sustainability through the transition, to prevent job losses, increased inequality, and new systemic risks. These challenges carry direct implications for development financing for the EMDCs. Rapid technological transformation requires development financiers to mobilize greater resources to support infrastructure and innovation ecosystems and ensure equitable access to new technologies. Meanwhile, development finance institutions, especially multilateral development banks, have a responsibility to promote international cooperation and mutual learning on technological advancements, while also adapting their own operations to boost efficiency and development impact.

Against this backdrop, the NDB Flagship Governors Seminar will examine the future of development financing in an era defined by deep, complex, and rapidly evolving technological change. The seminar will explore the defining characteristics of the current technological transformation and its implications; the evolving roles of development finance within this environment; the way forward for global cooperation to address the challenges and take advantages of opportunities brought by technological shifts; and how NDB can make further contributions to the sustainable development of its member countries during this technological revolution.

🚨🌍 BRICS foreign ministers are meeting in India as the Iran war and fuel crisis shake the global economy.

Russia.
Iran.
India.
China.

Major powers of the Global South are now discussing energy,
trade,
and the future world order.

Oil markets remain unstable.
Hormuz tensions are growing.
And countries dependent on Middle Eastern fuel are feeling the pressure.

BRICS was created to challenge Western-dominated systems.

Now,
with wars and sanctions reshaping the world,
the bloc wants a bigger global role.

But internal divisions remain.

Not every member agrees on how far to confront the West.

Still,
one message is clear:

The Global South wants a new balance of power.

🚨🇮🇶 Trump backed Iraq’s new PM-designate Ali al-Zaidi after strongly opposing pro-Iran candidate Nouri al-Maliki.

Washington reportedly pressured Baghdad by:
• freezing financial support
• suspending security cooperation
• warning against Iran-linked militias

Ali al-Zaidi,
a banker with no political history,
was then chosen as a compromise candidate.

The US now wants Iraq to:
— weaken Iran-backed militias
— cut militia funding
— reduce Tehran’s influence inside the state

With Iran weakened after the war,
Iraq’s political balance is rapidly shifting.
