'''Development finance institution''' ('''DFI'''), also known as a '''Development bank''', is a [[financial institution]] that provides [[risk capital]] for [[Economic development|economic development projects]] on a non-commercial basis.<br />

DFIs are often established and owned by governments or [[nonprofit organization]]s to finance projects that would otherwise not be able to get financing from commercial lenders.<br />

DFIs include [[multilateral development bank]]s, [[national development bank]]s, bilateral development banks, [[microfinance institution]]s, [[community development financial institution]] and [[revolving loan fund]]s.<ref>Andrea Levere, Bill Schweke, and Beadsie Woo, Development Finance and Regional Economic Development, Washington, DC: CFED, July 2006</ref><br />
