Development banks can be either bilateral or multilateral. A bilateral development bank is a financial institution located in a specific country which aims to provide financing in the aid of international development. A multilateral development bank, on the other hand, is an institution that is created by a number of countries. It provides financing and professional advice for development purposes.
