The UAE joined the BRICS New Development Bank based on Cabinet Resolution No. (19) of 2021.

The New Development Bank (NDB) was established by BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in July 2015. Headquartered in Shanghai, China, with a regional office in Johannesburg, the New Development Bank was established to mobilise resources – through loans, guarantees, and equity participation – for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging economies, as well as in developing countries. NDB’s work complements the efforts of multilateral financial institutions, toward global growth and development, thereby contributing to collective commitments to achieve the goal of strong, sustainable and balanced growth.
