The OPEC Fund for International Development concluded its 2026 Development Forum by launching two significant initiatives: the Vulnerability to Viability Compact (V2V) and a US$1.5 billion Digital Transformation Action Plan. The V2V Compact, co-launched with Barbados, aims to expand access to affordable, long-term development finance for 74 climate-vulnerable economies. The Digital Transformation Action Plan will guide investments in digital infrastructure and applications in developing countries through 2030. Additionally, the OPEC Fund for International Development advanced over US$2.8 billion in new financing, including loans to Armenia, Ameriabank, Bank Respublika in Azerbaijan (its first local currency loan), the East African Development Bank, Mauritania, and Nicaragua. The forum also saw expanded strategic cooperation with entities like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, GAVI, and the Islamic Organisation for Food Security.
