The article aims to present a brief historical overview of the performance of the Regional Development Bank of the Far South (BRDE) in these 61 years of existence and the perspectives for the future. To do so, it begins by approaching the context of its creation and the advances made in the first decades. Then, the paper describes the recent performance of the development institution, highlighting the financing contracts, the strategy of diversifying the sources of resources, the financial results, the support to innovation and the actions of socio-environmental responsibility. Next, it discusses the BRDE's position in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, which generated restrictions on production activity and the mobility of people. The study subsequently highlights the BRDE's future agenda, showing the advance of its own methodology that shows the adherence of the Bank's contracts to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Regional Vision 2040 project and the proposal to create the Fund South. Finally, the final considerations express the main ideas presented throughout the article. Keywords: Development bank. Sustainability. Innovation. Financing. SDG.
