ICD selects new projects based on their contribution to economic development of its member countries considering factors such as job creation, Islamic finance development and overall contribution to SDGs.

Going forward, ICD will also apply Fintech to make finance more efficient and inclusive for sustainable development. Financial institutions in the ICD member countries will benefit the most from Fintech innovations using AI, robotics, blockchain, data analytics and cloud services. In addition, ICD will build on the platform which is centered on its rich network of Financial Institutions across the globe. Through them, the IsDB Group in general and ICD in particular, would leverage access to the member countries and avail financing opportunities to help them achieving their SDGs.
