About: This event discussions will focus on the two overlapping themes, including:
1. Designing and implementing policy/regulatory reforms and innovative financing solutions for multilateral development banks (MDBs)-enabled mobilization of private capital at scale in emerging markets (including Low- and Middle-Income Countries) to operationalize Green, Resilient and Inclusive Development and post-COVID recovery and support the achievement of the SDGs.
2. Fostering global and country-level partnerships among governments, MDBs, donors and private sector to unlock the flow of capital and to connect funding and opportunities in emerging markets.
Event organizers will showcase ongoing work and present promising financing tools, (including green and sustainability-linked bonds, investment vehicles, etc.) to catalyze institutional and private investments across emerging economies and will discuss potential directions going forward. Event participants will reflect on advantages and possibilities of potential solutions and analyze challenges in making institutional and private finance work to reduce poverty and support a green recovery in developing economies.
