BDB presented in the Sofia City Garden a photo exhibition dedicated to key projects supported by development banks and public financial institutions from around the world. The Development Projects Exhibition presented 31 projects by 16 financial institutions, including the German KfW, the Chinese Development Bank, the Council of Europe Development Bank, the Swedish Kommuninvest, and the Norwegian KBN, among others.
The event was opened by Stoyan Mavrodiev, the Chief Executive Officer of the Bulgarian Development Bank, and Marcel Roy, the Secretary General of the European Association of Public Banks.

The exhibition also presented another specific mission of development banks – to support micro and start-up businesses.
