Inter-American Development Bank

Japanese: 米州開発銀行 - べいしゅうかいはつぎんこう(英語表記)Inter-American Development Bank
Inter-American Development Bank

Its abbreviation is IDB or IADB. It is an international financial institution established under the Organization of American States (OAS) with the purpose of providing loans to promote the economic and social development of Latin American countries. It was established in 1960. Its headquarters are in Washington.

The bank will play a complementary role to existing lending institutions such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) and the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and its main objectives will be (1) to provide development loans to Latin American countries that lack sufficient capital, (2) to guide development plans to bring about balanced economic growth and smooth trade development, and (3) to provide technical assistance in connection with development plans.

Initially, member states were limited to member states of the Organization of American States, but in order to increase fund-raising, non-OAS member countries such as Belgium, West Germany (now Germany), Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, and the Netherlands were allowed to join in 1976. As of 2007, there are 47 countries (26 within the region and 21 outside the region). Japan joined in 1976 (Showa 51), the same year as the European countries mentioned above.

略称はIDBまたはIADB。米州機構(OAS)を基礎として、中南米諸国の経済・社会開発を促進するための融資を目的として設立された国際的金融機関。1960年に発足。本部はワシントン。

 この銀行は国際復興開発銀行(世界銀行)や米国輸出入銀行など既存の融資機関に対して補完的な役割を果たすもので、そのおもな目的は、(1)資金量が不十分な中南米諸国に開発資金を融資する、(2)開発計画が均衡のとれた経済発展と順調な貿易の進展をもたらすよう指導する、(3)開発計画に関連して技術援助を行う、などである。

 加盟国は当初は米州機構の加盟国に限られていたが、資金調達を充実するため、1976年には米州機構非加盟のベルギー、西ドイツ(現ドイツ)、スイス、イギリス、フランス、オーストリア、オランダなどの加盟が認められた。2007年現在47か国(域内国26、域外国21)となっている。日本も上記ヨーロッパの国々と同じ1976年(昭和51)に加盟。
