description This paper discusses Brazil's strategic position in multilateral development banks. Considering the emergence of two major geopolitical poles in the 21st century, expressed in the Sino-American rivalry, and the importance of multilateralism in this context, it is argued that Brazil is well positioned in three spaces: whether in institutions traditionally led by the United States; in the new banks of China's emerging leadership; or in exclusively Latin American ones. Due to its presence in these three spheres, both as a relevant shareholder and a strong borrower, Brazil has great capacity to play a constructive role in these institutions, proactively cooperating in the three spaces to make strategic use of these instruments to support its development. Finally, it is proposed to reinforce the Brazilian contribution to multilateralism through working on: i) governance coordination; ii) consider new capital contributions; and iii) contribute to funds managed by multilateral banks to support development agendas.
