The Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector gave start to a fund aiming to finance renewable- energy projects in Central Asia and plans another in Africa. The fund is worth $35 million and is situated in Kazakhstan. In the very near future the North Africa fund containing $35 million to $50 million is to be opened. Financing for renewables ventures is targeting emerging markets due to the governments' striving to curb reliance on fuel imports and cash-strapped nations in Europe cut subsidies for clean power.

The Islamic Cooperation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD) has signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) with Lembaga Pembiayaan Ekspor Indonesia (Indonesia Eximbank), to explore together investment opportunities in Indonesia and other IDB member countries. This SPA was signed by Khalid Al-Aboodi, CEO of ICD, and I Made Gde Erata, CEO of Indonesia Eximbank .
This will also allow for the private sector in Indonesia to expand into emerging markets, especially to other OIC countries.
