Projet de loi portant sur l'augmentation du capital appelable de la Banque africaine de Développement.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 7d ago

This Belgian bill would approve an increase in the callable capital of the African Development Bank (AfDB), a multilateral development lender. Callable capital is the portion of a member's capital subscription that the bank can demand only if it faces serious financial obligations, such as repaying its own borrowings. It acts as a financial backstop that supports the bank's credit rating and its ability to lend. The bill mainly concerns Belgium as a shareholder of the AfDB and the federal government and Parliament, which must authorise the commitment. Any future call on this capital would be a contingent liability for Belgian public finances. Based on metadata only; the full legislative text has not been reviewed.
