development agenda by providing a range of flexible and tailored financial solutions to large

corporates and SMEs operating in the five priority sectors. This requires a collaborative

approach, we have been able to work with partners to quickly and efficiently mobilize capital to

eligible companies.

 

EDB has forged partnerships with public and private sector entities across the UAE to swiftly

identity and facilitate financial support for projects based on their developmental impact score

and the standard risk and profit evaluation that commercial banks do.
