Es retador que la banca privada pueda incorporar, en su forma de hacer negocios, una defensa de los bienes comunes. De hecho, la adicionalidad de los bancos multilaterales de desarrollo es que tienen una serie de instrumentos financieros que incorporan una tasa de interés baja, pero también el cumplimiento de una serie de requisitos que revisten al préstamo en una perspectiva de sostenibilidad y equidad, al menos esa es la intención. Las salvaguardas ambientales y sociales del Banco Mundial, Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, y de otras instituciones financieras de desarrollo, son las condicionantes para que los préstamos a los Gobiernos y las empresas se adecuen a la perspectiva de desarrollo sostenible. Un sistema imperfecto, pero sistema al fin de cuentas.
