Updated disclosure example book shows DFIs what is possible
We have just published an updated edition of our Disclosure Example Book, a practical resource designed to support development finance institutions (DFIs) in improving the transparency of their disclosures. The book brings together examples of how a wide range of project- and organisation-level information is currently disclosed across the DFI sector, demonstrating what is possible in practice.
The book was first released in 2023, in response to demand from DFIs for real-life examples of how and where their peers publish information. It is designed to address perceived barriers and guide improved disclosure. We hope it will remain a useful resource for anyone working to strengthen DFI transparency.
This edition has been updated to reflect the findings of the 2025 DFI Transparency Index and incorporates new indicators introduced in 2025, alongside more recent disclosure examples drawn from across the institutions assessed. The examples span bilateral and multilateral DFIs and cover all indicators assessed by the Index.
The Disclosure Example Book is intended as a reference point rather than a statement of best practice. By showcasing real-world examples from peer institutions, it aims to support peer learning and to illustrate how perceived constraints to disclosure can often be overcome. As with previous editions, the book will be treated as a living document and updated periodically as new examples of disclosure emerge.
