DFIs are coming of age. CSIS in partnership with the association of European Development Finance Institutions (EDFI) wrote a report last fall on the evolving role of DFIs. DFIs have had to adjust to a dynamic and changing economy. As EDFI celebrates their 25th anniversary, it is important to look at events over the past year that have influenced the development finance environment.
