The Nakong Development Corporation (NDC; Shangean: 内江發展公司) is a Nakongese state-owned financial institution that serves as the primary investment arm of the Nakongese state, with ownership stakes in a number of Nakongese and international firms and a key role in various industries including banking, credit insurance, real estate and transportation. Founded in 2010 by then-Minister of Finance Andrew Ng, the Nakong Development Corporation was formed from the merger of various Nakongese economic development agencies in order to reduce direct state investment in Nakongese industry and to create arm's-length, apolitical decision-making in the management of public assets.
The Nakong Development Corporation was established by the Economic Development (Statutory Authority) Act 2009 as the successor to the State Asset Management Agency, a division of the Department of the Treasury with a troubled history of poor record-keeping and politically directed investments. Additionally, the NDC gained the assets and functions of several smaller public investment bodies, including the Nakong Industrial Strategic Agency, the Nakong Urban Redevelopment Agency, and the National Office for Rural Infrastructure, in addition to inheriting the credit insurance functions of the Nakong Export-Import Agency. Under its enabling legislation, the Nakong Development Corporation operates autonomously from the Government of Nakong and pays an annual dividend to the Treasury, with the Department of State for Economic Development providing oversight and accountability.
Since its establishment, the Nakong Development Corporation has posted consistent profits and come to grow its portfolio through investments in a wide variety of Nakongese and international assets. The NDC has ownership stakes in a variety of notable companies, including Nakonair, Nakong Container, Patlin Industrial, and TBD.
Arnold Yip-Smith, a dual Estmerish-Nakongese citizen, has served as president and CEO of the Nakong Development Corporation since 2019. Anna Poon Yuen-ki, the Minister of Economic Development, is the minister responsible for the corporation.
