New Investment Bank

A Novel Approach to Economic Growth and Development

The United Democracies' New Investment Bank is a unique institution that provides substantial investment programs to its member states on a circular basis. This innovative approach ensures that every contributing member gets its turn, with the annual investment directory directing investment funds to approved projects by its members. The projects can be spread simultaneously across different member states, benefiting both working democracies and democracies in development.

One of the key features of this circular investment model is that the country executing the project in another country is seen as a receiver of the actual spent part of that project fund. This ensures that the receiving nation does not pay for the received funds twice as is the case with Chinese-funded projects (the funds released for the project to be paid back to China including interest, and the project executed by a chinese contractor who supplies the labor and brings the profits tax free home). Additionally, proper technology and skills transfer take place, including training, and the receiving nation can take part in the project with its own contractors if they have the necessary skills and ability.

To provide an example, a receiving nation may receive a direct investment fund of 100 million dollars for an approved project, to built a new airport or a factory for instance. This investment will help that nation enormously to boost its local economy and trade, both locally as well as with its neighbours, or internationally.

Another nation may provide the main contractor for this project, with local contractors making up 60% of the project expenditure and the main contractor contributing 40%.

In essence, the receiving country receives a direct investment of 100 million dollars and executes 60 million dollars through its local contractors, while the expertise is delivered by a main contractor from another country, which spends 40 million dollars of the investment project.


The allocation and distribution of direct funding of the project constitutes now 60 million for country A and 40 million for country B.



Unlike traditional investment banks, the New Investment Bank does not offer investment loans. Instead, it focuses on direct investments, which are prioritized according to the economic development plans for direct investments by the United Democracies Member Council.

The annual funds raised by its member states are circulated across all members with the aim of boosting economies across the bloc of United Democracies by providing direct investments for infrastructural, industrial, educational, medical or research development projects.

These rotating direct investments are beneficial to all member states, as they boost economies, provide jobs, develop skills, and transfer technologies throughout the single bloc.

Many democracies in development are eager to develop their nations and see economic growth and jobs for their people, while developed democracies are always on the lookout for new opportunities.

Through direct investment, the economic growth of these nations will be boosted, leading to higher living standards, which in turn will create new opportunities and markets for both working democracies and developing democracies.

In addition the ripple effect will be that people with higher living standards tend to spend more, which creates new opportunities and further economic growth.

The circular investment model of the United Democracies' New Investment Bank is a novel approach to economic development and growth, fostering cooperation and collaboration among member states to create a more prosperous and equitable future for all.

United Democracies Proposes 1% GDP Contribution for New Investment Bank

The United Democracies (UNDW), an economic bloc committed to fostering global prosperity and stability, is proposing a groundbreaking initiative: a 1% GDP contribution from its member nations to fund a newly established Investment Bank. This strategic move aims to channel resources into vital development projects, fostering economic growth and resilience across the UNDW community.

The rationale behind the 1% contribution lies in its feasibility and impact. Recognizing that many nations allocate substantial portions of their GDP to military spending—sometimes as high as 5%—the UNDW proposes a modest reallocation. By optimizing and reorganizing military-industrial complexes, nations could potentially reduce military expenditure to 4%, freeing up the necessary funds for the Investment Bank.

To illustrate the potential impact, consider the Netherlands, with a GDP of €1.000 billion. Under this proposal, its annual contribution would be a manageable €10 billion. Similarly, a nation like Kenya, with a GDP of $100 billion, would contribute $1 billion annually.

Collectively, the United Democracies boast an estimated GDP of $40.000 billion. A 1% levy would generate a substantial $400 billion annually, creating a powerful engine for economic development.


Circular Investment for Shared Prosperity

The Investment Bank will distribute these funds into targeted investment projects on a circular basis, benefiting all UNDW members. These investments will focus on critical areas such as infrastructure, industry, technology, education, and medical capabilities.

Developing countries stand to gain significantly from this initiative, receiving substantial economic support coupled with technology transfer and expertise from developed nations. This collaborative approach will foster the creation of new industries, boost economic growth, and improve living standards.

Crucially, the circular nature of the investment ensures that developed democracies also receive their fair share of the benefits. This guarantees that contributions are not solely one-way, but rather a catalyst for growth that reverberates throughout the entire UNDW community.


Revitalizing the Global Economy

The UNDW's Investment Bank is not intended to supplant the free capital market but to revitalize it. By injecting targeted investments into key sectors, the initiative will create new opportunities, stimulate innovation, and enhance global stability.

This bold initiative has the potential to elevate the United Democracies to a new level of prosperity, security, and stability. By pooling resources and investing strategically, the UNDW is paving the way for a more prosperous and equitable future for all its members.
