Welcome to the web site of the CD Group of companies, an independent network promoting support for private sector participation in emerging environmental markets, especially clean energy and transport . We support the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises and the wider use of Islamic banking to finance SMEs and infrastructure. We also support awareness raising on development priorities and promotion of trade and investment.

Dr. Terry's Column

We are restructuring our web site to focus on promotional events aimed at encouraging investment in environmental markets, especially in Indonesia and ASEAN, and on educational awareness for development. We focus our articles on modernization in the Muslim world, and could not ignore the tragedy in Gaza, where we previously helped lead economic development programs. Clearly Gaza will need a massive economic recovery program. Our press and magazine articles are widely circulated in the Arab and Muslim world and in Europe, Asia and Africa. Access to this library, and to new articles, will be a main focus of the new web site. The strengthening of civil society, democratic elections, financial transparency, rule of law and a free press all contribute to an improved long-term climate for private sector investment and development.
