We have the benefit of the experience of having invested in other multilateral development banks over a number of years, starting with the World Bank in the 1940s. We've been able to see the track record of those institutions. They have protected the capital that the shareholders have invested, and they have grown their retained earnings. The growth of the total value of that institution has worked out to as low as 2% a year and up to much higher returns in some cases.
Although we've said that it has not been the case that multilateral development banks have paid out dividends, that has been a conscious choice of shareholders, including ourselves, in that the purpose of these banks is to advance some of our collective foreign policy interests around the world, including global development. We felt that the funds are better retained within the bank to allow for an increased capacity to lend and to support projects, as opposed to paying back dividends to shareholders on a regular basis.
