KfW enables the transformation to a sustainable and resilient future worldwide

As a responsible bank, we help shape transformation processes in developing and emerging countries as well as industrialised nations. Our broad range of financing supports climate protection, the expansion of economic and social infrastructure and promotes companies worldwide. With many years of expertise and a broad network, we support our partners and customers in challenging markets, create better living conditions and work towards a more sustainable world. In doing so, we also make an important contribution to energy and raw materials security and strengthen international trade and cooperation in times of geopolitical crises.

Current topics in international financing

Biodiversity

KfW is strongly committed to the conservation of biodiversity. It is one of the main international donors for biodiversity when measured in financial instruments such as promotional loans and grants.

Green hydrogen

KfW promotes the use of green hydrogen worldwide, focusing on technologies known as ‘Power to X’, which use electricity generated from wind or solar power.

Ukraine

KfW remains a close partner of Ukraine. This applies to strengthening Ukraine’s resilience in the current war situation as well as to its reconstruction and the rapprochement process with the EU.

Development Cooperation

Many figures and presentations are currently circulating in the public debate on development cooperation. We have therefore compiled facts and answers to the most pressing questions here: Where do development funds go? How does development cooperation benefit people in Germany? And how much money do the cycle paths in Peru actually cost?
