Ownership

The China Development Bank is majority-owned by the Chinese state via the Ministry of Finance and Central Huijin Investment.

China Development Bank (CDB), established in 1994, is the world's largest development finance institution. The bank was originally established as a policy bank to finance the government's large-scale development projects. It is under the direct jurisdiction of the State Council or the People's Central Government. In December 2008 CDB became a commercial bank, however, its sole shareholders were China's Ministry of Finance and the Central Huijin Investment Corp., both departments within the Chinese government. China Development Bank provides financing for national projects such as infrastructure, basic industries, energy and transportation.

EPN assessment of policies against 14 minimum criteria - China Development Bank

Environmental Paper Network (EPN) evaluated the policies of 68 major financiers of the pulp and paper industry against 14 absolute minimum criteria that all financial institutions should require their clients, investments and business partners to respect in order to reduce social and environmental risks.

China's Global Power Database

China’s Global Power Database, created by Boston University's Global Development Policy Center, tracks all the world's power plants financed by Chinese foreign direct investment and/or China's two global policy banks, the China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China.

Accountability
Grievances

China Development Bank does not operate a complaints or grievance mechanism for individuals or communities that might have been affected by the bank's finance.

This page evaluates China Development Bank's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
