This notable work by the author presents a critique of the current climate of development banking, arguing that for such institutions to reach their full potential, managers must adopt a range of professional standards and qualities. These qualities include technical competence in medium to long-term investment, the ability to make unbiased lending or investment decisions based on the facts of a situation, and a philosophy that defines the institution's role within its unique environment. The author identifies six forces that are currently influencing standards in development banking. First, international sources that finance many development banks are pushing for improved methods and standards of operations. Second, development bankers themselves recognize their role as pioneers in a new field. Third, regional conferences have fostered a sense of identity among development bankers, leading to improved bank management through the exchange of experience. Fourth, technical assistance from one development bank to another is reinforcing the trend toward professionalism. Fifth, development banks are increasingly being staffed by professionally trained engineers, economists, and accountants. Finally, increases in the number of managers with a broad range of expertise suggest that the evolution of the development banker will continue towards a position where one person possesses multiple disciplines. The book concludes by positing that these six influences will continue to shape the development banking field, and that the adoption of professional standards will be key to unlocking the full potential of development banks in fostering economic growth and development.
