At the same time, the institution should prevent from inadequacy that would slow down the industrial growth. The purpose of a development bank is to entrench the needed organizational and technical know-how, capital and enterprise. It is also obligated to help develop the financial, social and economic infrastructure that is beneficial to rapid economic development[1].
Roles of development bank
Development bank might have different ownership, origins of funding, aims, strategies, and scope of procedures, depending on the particular cultural, financial, and political context under which it has to operate. However, development bank was created in order to realize the following tasks[2]:
- Funding long-term investment in the light of national development policies to promote institutional conversion;
- Financing public goods, such as prevention and adaptation to climate change;
- Helping to ensure economic stability, especially by providing counter-cyclical funding, sustaining investments and diversifying risk within the financial sector;
- Promoting greater inclusion - it can be accomplished through lines of credit to commercial or other financial institutions as well as by direct lending to small and medium companies;

History
The oldest organization for industrial development sponsored by the government is the Societe General pour Favoriser I'Industrie Regional, founded in the Netherlands in 1822. Some of the most significant developments in long-term state-sponsored investment took place in France. In this regard, it was especially important to establish institutions such as the Credit Foncier, the Comptoir ' d'Escompte, and the Credit Mobilier in 1848–52. Credit Mobilier's participation in Continental European railroad investment illustrates how these organizations relate to both economic and financial growth. Credit Mobilier stated as a model for different governments. They funded financial institutions in Continental Europe but didn't stop there. A great example is The Industrial Bank of Japan, created with the help of Credit Mobilier. This was quickly taken as a model for other financial institutions, particularly in India[3].
