Development finance

For financing real estate development, see Real_estate_investing § Financing.

Development finance is a branch of development studies that deals with financing of economic and social development. It typically involves of both the mobilisation and dispersion of domestic and international sources of finance. At the international level Foreign Aid, in particular Official Development Assistance (ODA), Development aid and charitable and philanthropic contributions, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and flows of remittances from overseas workers are looked at. Domestically both the traditional banking sector and the less formal sectors are investigated as is Microfinance. The activities and role of Development finance institutions (DFIs) both national and international ones form a large part of the subject matter analysed.[1][2][3][4]
