The China Development Bank (CDB) is a state-owned financial institution established in 1994. Its primary purpose is to support the economic development of China by providing funding for infrastructure projects, industrial development, and social programs. The bank plays a crucial role in financing large-scale projects that align with the country's strategic goals.
