As the market for low-carbon solutions continues to expand, financial institutions are facing challenges that impede their ability to broaden their climate and transition financing strategies and capitalise on commercial opportunities. The International Association of Credit Portfolio Managers (IACPM) and Oliver Wyman endeavoured to gain insight into the strategies employed by business and risk teams in overcoming obstacles within the climate and transition finance markets. In order to gather relevant information, the IACPM and Oliver Wyman conducted interviews with 25 of the foremost global banks, asset managers, insurers, export credit agencies (ECAs), and multilateral development banks (MDBs) to ascertain their approaches in financing climate and transition solutions. The aim of this study was to offer guidance to business and risk teams within financial institutions regarding the effective management of present challenges as well as the facilitation of commercial goals and strategic outcomes.   View the full report: https://lnkd.in/gXAaSa4c #aspectadvisory #climatefinance #transitionfinance #climatestrategies #emissions #netzero #fianancialmanagement
