The Road to the SDGs

Under the new business model, IsDB also works on building capacity and human capital, developing laws and improving the investment environment. When studying the value chain, we identify the organisational requirements needed, the financing services of all kinds and the statistical and technological databases needed by each stakeholder at each stage of the chain. We design projects as chains. After project design, there are different implementation options, including PPP, where the private sector participates in the entire lifecycle of the project starting from implementation to operation and, ultimately, profitability. This would enhance efficiency and help implement the largest number of projects possible at the same time. IsDB will go to the recipient markets of these strategic industries to attract their financial and human resources to participate in implementation, because the profits they derive from the domestic final product of these industries would encourage them to invest in these industries. This is where IsDB fits in as provider of the guarantees necessary to secure such investments and reduce their risks to a minimum by leveraging its AAA rating. This model transforms IsDB from an on-demand finance provider to a proactive institution that identifies the needs of countries based on competitiveness. Through this new style of business, IsDB seeks to put an end to the inefficient process of receiving and scheduling applications for scattered projects (most of which are sovereign projects that often require rescheduling) then making approvals [ 8 ]
