The Trade and Development Bank (TDB), formerly the PTA Bank, is a trade and development financial institution operating in eastern and southern Africa.

History

The Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank, also known as TDB, was established on 6 November 1985 under Chapter Nine of the Treaty for the Establishment of the Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African States, which entered into effect on 2 September 1982 and was subsequently replaced by the Treaty for the Establishment of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa of 1994 that established COMESA. [5] TDB is the financial arm of COMESA. [6]

Shareholders

The membership of the TDB includes twenty-two member states, nineteen of which are COMESA members. The People's Republic of China was the first non-regional member state to join TDB in 2000.

In June 2022, TDB moved into a new 19-storey skyscraper in the Kilimani neighborhood of Nairobi, that serves as the bank's regional headquarters of the bank's eastern region. [9]
