Government officials and other representatives sent from the six nations across Dovani, has met in a northern capital of Bianjie, Niyalma, to formally establish the Dovani Development Bank (DDB), a new pan-Dovanian institution designed to support infrastructure, industrialisation, economic and social growth of the countries within the world's largest continent. A project of almost two decades, the DDB will now officially come to live with high expectations and hopes, especially from Bianjie, the biggest proponent of the institution.

Gathering in Niyalma, present delegations and representatives have signed a founding bank's charter, with each founding and future member state pledging to fund the bank through the national budgets, as per agremeent with the DDB's founding principles and documents after years-long negotiations led by the Bianjian delegation. In return, the bank is expected to provide low-interest development loans, technical assistance, investment support and other mechanisms to support developing, emerging and strong economies, in that order, throughout the continent. "It has been a work of my tenure as finance minister, as deputy minister under previous governments, and simple adviser of the state institutions prior that all", said finance minister Hunai Fusuku. "I am more than happy that it has been finally created, and moreover, I am happy that we have been able to make it, even within the fundamental disagreements with the aspiring member states".

One of the disagreements that led to the extension of negotiations over the bank, was the ability of the DDB to control nation's finances, or push for certain reforms within the member states. Reportedly, most representatives within the negotiation team table were against any kind of reform push powers of the bank, with additional disagreement coming from Utaristani delegation over the control of financial actions of individual countries, whose communist economic system would certainly come in clash with that sort of foreign intervention. "We knew it wouldn't be easy, and we were ready to take as long as possible to arrive to pleasing conclusion, or a compromise of sorts that would work for everyone", an anonymous official from the Bianjian delegation team told Bekkei.

Under the founding agreement, the Dovani Development Bank will be putting into priority infrastructure project, specifically continental transport links, power generation, with an additional focus on renewable energy, water infrastructure and further support of sectors viewed as critical to boost productivity in lower-income economies of Dovani. Agricultural affairs are also features prominently in the documents, as Bianjie's Agriculture Development Bank (ADB) expressed support for the DDB, and is expected to fund it, as per prior agreement and DDB's need for private funding.

Niyalma is expected to host the institution's headquarters temporarily, while the negotiations about the proper headquarters host city are still undergoing, with Utaristan expressing the wish to host the bank's main office in its biggest port city, Toguz, while Xsampa, reportedly, stood behind Bianjie's current temporary Niyalma bid becoming official and final. An interim governing council will oversee bank's staffing in the first months of operation, while the member states choose their proper delegates (one per each nation) into the governing council, who then will elect a Board of Governors, with rotative presidency, each five years.
