National transition plans can help unlock the flow of capital towards the transition and make 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) investable. This is particularly important to finance emerging markets’ transition and adaptation efforts.

🌍 Exciting news in the Development Finance sphere: The International Monetary Fund authorised the use of SDRs for the acquisition of hybrid capital instruments issued by Prescribed Holders, such as Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). This decision marks a pivotal moment, as it expands the scope of SDR prescribed operations to include investments in hybrid capital instruments.   Congratulations to the African Development Bank Group and the Inter-American Development Bank, who have developed this proposal under which member countries may channel SDRs as hybrid capital contributions to help expand their lending capacity. By leveraging SDRs to acquire hybrid capital instruments, MDBs can enhance their financial capacity to support sustainable projects and initiatives in the region.    This development underscores the collaborative efforts within the global financial community to bolster economic resilience and promote inclusive growth. As we move forward, we're excited about the possibilities that this expanded use of SDRs presents for expanding MDBs lending.   The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to meet the long-term global need to supplement the existing reserve assets of IMF members.

Development finance institutions have to scale up private capital mobilisation (PCM) if we are to close the financing gaps in meeting the SDGs and addressing the climate crisis. Yet, in recent years, mobilisation rates have stagnated. As stakeholders seek to reform multilateral development banks, we need to understand what works to mobilise private capital, and in what contexts. Unfortunately, current measurement and disclosure of PCM is inadequate for these purposes. Today we are launching a proposal for improvements to the ways in which private capital mobilisation is measured and disclosed. We will be consulting on this proposal until 14 June. Visit our website to see the full proposal and provide your comments: https://lnkd.in/eFP2VBvH Join our launch with the Center for Global Development on 16 April to discuss the importance of mobilising more private capital in emerging markets and developing economies, how MDB approaches need to evolve and the best ways to disclose, assess, and report on their performance.

Private investments are the most sought-after assets among institutional investors. But to allocators, not all alts are created equal: private equity, private debt and infrastructure are the favorites, according to a survey of asset owners by research firm Preqin. For institutions, the average allocation to alts overall grew to 20% of their portfolios last year, from 18.4% in 2022, Preqin reported. This article from Chief Investment Officer Magazine explores a recent Preqin survey, which finds that private equity, private debt, and infrastructure are the alternative assets most sought after by institutional investors.

#SUERFpolicybrief "EIB Group support for EU businesses: Evidence of impact in addressing market failures" by Chiara Fratto, Matteo Gatti, Debora Revoltella, Emily Sinnott, and Wouter van der Wielen (European Investment Bank (EIB)) This brief presents the rationale behind #EIBGroup #support for #businesses and the evidence on the impact of #SME-targeted financial instruments. It gives an overview of relevant market failures and financing gaps, and how different EIB Group instruments address them. The brief brings together the results of several impact studies, comparing the performance of firms that received EIB Group support to comparable firms that did not receive such support. These studies are based on unique firm-level datasets linking EIB Group firm-support allocation data to external information on firms, investors and the macroeconomic setting. The impacts observed after the financing are positive and significant, proving that EIBG financing for SMEs, mid-caps and innovative businesses has a real impact. #SMEfinancing #credit #guaranteeschemes 📄https://lnkd.in/dg98HfKv

Indeed this is what we mean when discussing impact assessment. Rigorous economic analysis to assess the impact of European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF) lending. Crucial to know what works and what does not work!

This is the time to look in-depth at which public sector finacial instruments really make a difference. Our European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF) impact studies. Showing why the EIBGroup intervenes in markets and what is the effect on final beneficiaries. And the effect is tangible!
