Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank

Collectively investing in collective security.

Collective security demands collective investment.

The DSR Bank is the trusted institution designed to mobilise that investment—helping like-minded allies and partners finance the capabilities needed for defence, security, and resilience.

Built for scale and backed by sovereigns, the DSR Bank will address three critical challenges:

  • Affordable capital for governments – Delivering long-term, low-cost financing without adding pressure to national balance sheets.

  • Smarter, faster procurement – Supporting governments in streamlining and financing defence acquisitions.

  • Unlocking private capital – Providing guarantees that enable commercial banks to fund defence and security firms across the supply chain.

By bridging public and private finance, the DSR Bank gives allied democracies the financial strength to meet today’s threats—and prepare for tomorrow’s.

“The world is changing faster than our systems can respond.

Seven years ago, I saw it coming. A new era of threat — not just on battlefields, but in boardrooms, supply chains, power grids, and information networks. Defence, security, and resilience were converging, but we were still funding them like it was 1999.

That’s when I began building what has become the foundation for the Defence, Security & Resilience Bank — not just an idea, but a concrete plan to finance national security in a way that meets the scale and complexity of today’s risks.

Now, nations are arriving at the same conclusion: we need new institutions fit for this new era.

I’m not doing this alone. We’ve brought together a team with deep expertise across government, finance, defence, and multilateral institutions — people who’ve shaped policy, raised capital, and led in crisis. What unites us is a shared conviction: that resilience isn’t a buzzword. It’s an investment priority.

No one is better placed to help nations build this bank — and we’re ready to go.”

As Seen On

Financing resilience. Strengthening supply chains. Enabling opportunity.

The DSR Bank is a multilateral financial institution with a national security mission. But its impact will be felt far beyond government.

By unlocking new sources of capital, the Bank will channel investment into the defence, security, and resilience supply chains — from global primes to specialist SMEs. It will help firms of all sizes scale production, modernise infrastructure, and bring critical technologies to market faster.

For governments, it offers a way to stretch budgets further, crowding in private finance while retaining strategic control.

For financial institutions and sovereign funds, it opens the door to a stable, policy-backed investment environment in sectors that were previously hard to access.

This is not about profit. It’s about building capacity, unlocking growth, and ensuring that democratic nations can deliver the capabilities they need — when and where they need them.
