BRUSSELS, 3 September 2025 – A new digital dashboard published online today the Association of European Development Finance Institutions (EDFI) aims to transform how investors, policymakers, and development partners access and interpret private sector development finance data. Available on the EDFI Association website, the dashboard provides detailed, reliable, and consolidated data in emerging markets and developing countries from the 15 EDFI members.

Hosted at edfi.eu, the Data Dashboard gives users access to an aggregated view of the joint EDFI portfolio valued at more than €52.6 billion at the end of 2023. The platform contains more than 60,000 lines of data, offering insights into the activities of all EDFI members. The online platform makes visible areas where European DFIs have identified commercially viable opportunities. 

EDFI have published on the dashboard the most possible level of detail allowed and addresses data definitions and methodologies of individual DFIs to allay concerns around data comparisons. The dashboard does not include, however, transaction-level data, risk profiles, or financial results. The platform does publish what is feasible under current legal frameworks for commercial confidentiality. 

A guidance note available on the dashboard webpage explains the terms and methodology used. The note clarifies that while dashboard data may differ slightly from that published by individual DFIs due to regulatory or accounting differences, it serves as an illustrative view of collective efforts. The online tool is designed to be adaptable and will continue to incorporate new data points as priorities evolve. Part of the Hamburg Data Alliance, the Association is open to reconsidering additional data points requested by private investors.

The dashboard gives a window to the joint impact of European DFIs within the European Financial Architecture for Development (EFAD) and the value of working together as ‘Team Europe’. The dashboard provides the only place where users can see the full scope of the combined portfolio—equivalent to half of all European development finance for the private sector. 

Users can track investments across eight sectors and 29 sub-sectors, with key impact tags for gender, climate, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This enables partners to quickly see how European DFIs contribute to the Global Gateway strategy and other joint policy priorities.
